A Message From Mary-Ellen Powers
2026 is going to be a big year for me in Special Olympics with returning to competing in sports again since my knee surgery, and my 15th year working for Special Olympics Rhode Island! I will also be participating in the annual Torch Run Plunge at Salty Brine State Beach on Sunday, March 22nd. I will be taking the plunge along with friends on the Arctic Athletes plunge team! Any size donation would be very much appreciated and will benefit over 4,000 athletes like myself who participate in Special Olympics Rhode Island!
Thank you for your support!

In Support of Special Olympics RI
Special Olympics is a global movement that unleashes the human spirit through the transformative power and joy of sports, every day around the world. Through sports, health, education and community programming, Special Olympics is tackling inactivity, intolerance, isolation and injustice that people throughout the world face, especially people with intellectual disabilities.
Special Olympics Rhode Island is one of the state’s most dynamic programs, providing over 1,600 year-round sports training and athletic competition opportunities to more than 4,000 children and adults with intellectual disabilities. Special Olympics Rhode Island hosts over 40 statewide tournaments and competitions each year in 20 official and demonstration sports.
