Athletes & families: You’ll receive physical sponsorship packets at practice once Basketball and Spirit Squad get started, so you’ll have everything you need to share with local businesses, family, friends, and other community supporters. If you want to get ahead of the game and start thinking about who you’d like to ask, all of the information is already available at the link above!

Are you a business or community supporter interested in participating? The link above includes everything you need to get started, including the sponsorship form, step-by-step instructions, payment and return information, and examples of all available sponsorship posters.

For our newer athletes: Featured Athlete Sponsorship posters are available after one year of participation. New members can absolutely join in this year by selling the Team Sponsorship Poster, and next year they’ll have the opportunity to have a Featured Athlete poster of their own!

We’re so excited to kick this off and can’t wait to see our athletes, families, and community come together to support Mahoning County Special Olympics! ❤️🏀📣

We are so honored to be recognized as a Hometown Hero by Highway Tabernacle Church! ❤️

A huge thank you to the church for this recognition, the beautiful plaque, and for always opening their facilities to us so we can continue offering more opportunities and programs for our athletes.

And a very special thank you to Ron Moore for the incredible hand-drawn portrait. It is something we will truly treasure!

This is what community is all about: people coming together, supporting one another, and creating opportunities for everyone to belong. We are so thankful to have Highway Tabernacle Church as part of ours! ❤️🏅
