This summer, 7,000 athletes from 177 countries are coming to Los Angeles to compete in the Special Olympics World Games.


It takes talent, courage, and determination to compete at the Special Olympics World Games. And it will take your participation to make these Games truly memorable.


Be a part of the world's largest sports and humanitarian event that will transform lives, inspire pride, and foster inclusion of people with intellectual disabilities in communities around the world.




Start Fundraising

It takes $2,500 to fund one athlete's participation in the 2015 World Games. Join the Support An Athlete campaign and raise $2,500 with your family, co-workers, schoolmates and friends. You'll be paired with an athlete competing at the World Games to cheer him or her on in person! Visit support.LA2015.org to see how much has been raised and get started with your page.



Volunteer to Help

It will take 30,000 caring and committed volunteers to make sure that the Special Olympics athletes get the experience of a lifetime. Volunteers are needed at sports venues, athlete villages, and welcome centers both before and during the 2015 World Games.



Be a Host Town

Your community can be a Host Town for a delegation of Special Olympics athletes as they prepare for their competitions and experience Southern California culture.  LA2015 is seeking Southern California towns, cities and community groups who will open their hearts to host a delegation from July 21 to July 24, 2015.  Be a Host Town and give Special Olympics athletes three fun-filled and life-changing days.



Be a Corporate Sponsor

When you support the 2015 World Games, your company has a chance to align itself with a humanitarian effort impacting us all. Your sponsorship will support the World Games athletes and let your customers and employees know you care. Custom sponsorship opportunities are available and include prominent recognition at the World Games in Los Angeles.
