Mower County Special Olympics
We would like to acknowledge The United Way of Mower County for their generous support of this program.
Special Olympics offers children and adults with intellectual disabilities year-round sports training and competition.  Through Special Olympics’ athletic, health and leadership programs, people with intellectual disabilities transform themselves, their communities and the world.

If you have concerns that your form might be outdated, please call the LIFE office at (507) 433-8994.  As a reminder, you will not be allowed to practice or compete in competitions without it.
