Benefits Of Special Olympics Donations

By Anthony Ross


Every member of the society deserves to be recognized in one way or the other. For the individuals with various challenges, appreciating them is important in ensuring their confidence is guaranteed. This has led to the increase in special Olympics donations to fund their participation. As different people contribute to the kitty, the following merits will be obtained.

At first, there are not enough funds to facilitate the qualification stages where the best players are selected to represent a given region. As such, one should feel obliged to represent the local athletes by contributing to their kitty. Attending to these events to cheer them will give them morale to move ahead and compete fairly. This will push them to bear fruitful results in the following stages.

Having donated enough funds, the players will be trained by professional who will enable them to participate in a competent manner. Avoiding injuries is vital as the coaches will teach them how to use different facilities in the field. As such, their wellness is maintained at a desirable state which is essential in keeping them fit. Involvement in these games keeps the players fit and ready to face life challenges.

Joining the athletes in their training is vital in showing your moral support. When one is surrounded by the family members, their confidence is improved. This is reflected when one is interacting with others thus improving the social skills of these participants. As such, one can focus on their strengths as discovered in the field and use this to develop a new character. Inclusion in public activities makes the athletes appreciate themselves.

Concerning public appearance, the inclusion of family members in the cheering squad is of great importance. When relatives of people with unique intellectual skills appear in their games, they improve their confidence and strengthen their love. The bondage between them becomes strong, and thus families will have improved quality regarding socialization. Time spent together is essential in this virtue, and Special Olympics provide the platform.

As the events are aired on the media stations, other challenged people get a chance to watch them. Despite the fact that they never had an opportunity to join, they can learn from others and appreciate themselves too. Dedicating your time to look at the events together with such persons is a contribution in some way. You can also donate them with tickets whereby they can afford to attend live events.

As the people with unique intellectual qualities are provided with a chance to showcase their talents, they can be treated as equals after the events. With everyone seeing them participate, one can start treating these individuals as second class citizens and thus start appreciating their contributions. This will result in a society that supports equality among its residents. More so, respect will be earned both to the challenged and the rest.

International events such as special Olympics have a great significance in creating awareness. Different people can see the participation or read about them on the news thus learning things that they might not be aware. This will generate a new point of view to such audience. Consequently, the relationship with such people will change. The participants will get appreciation and promote social lives of their counterparts.
