Special Olympics Alberta Edmonton (SOA-EDM) is dedicated to enriching the lives of Edmontonians with an intellectual
disability. Empowered through sport, Special Olympics Athletes gain dignity, and respect. They demonstrate their
determina-on, strength, and pride at every opportunity. Our Athletes develop independence and at the same -me they
become a part of a huge community where they are accepted for who they are and given the chance to be their best!

Today 550 Edmonton Athletes par-cipate year round in our 37 sport programs funded almost wholly through dona-ons
and fundraisers. Bowling is our athletes favorite sport. The Bowl for Special Olympics annual fund raising event is built
around the Athlete, and provides the greater Edmonton community a rst-hand experience with our Athletes in
addi-on to the fun of bowling with colleagues and friends. The resul-ng nancial support is cri-cal to the programs that
enable Athletes to par-cipate and excel locally, provincially, na-onally and even interna-onally.
SOA-EDM does not receive government funding so is completely reliant on fundraising dollars. 83% of all funds go
directly to support the programs our athlete par-cipate in.
