Meet the ambassadors that answered the call to support the USA Games!
Changing the Game
The ambassadors help us to raise awareness and amplify the message of inclusion, sportsmanship, and human potential for the 2026 Special Olympics USA Games. Their work to promote our mission not only generates excitement and anticipation, but also helps to break down stereotypes and challenge misconceptions about individuals with intellectual disabilities. By sharing their platforms and passions, these individuals inspire many to support the athletes and to become champions of the Special Olympics movement.
