McDonald's and Ronald McDonald House Charities have teamed up in support of the 115 Special Olympics North Carolina athletes selected to compete in the first-ever Special Olympics USA National Games, July 2-7 in Iowa. 

Special Olympics athletes are never required to pay a fee to participate but it will cost $2,000 to send each athlete to the National Games.  Special Olympics NC would ask for your support in helping these athletes dreams come true! Your donation will help pay for vital items like travel, housing, unifoms and equipment. 

Donating through this site is simple, fast and totally secure. It is also the most efficient way to make a contribution to Special Olympics NC fundraising efforts. Many thanks for your support -- and don't forget to forward this to anyone who you think might want to donate too!

These athletes have been training hard in athletics, aquatics, basketball, bocce, bowling, golf, gymnastics, powerlifting, soccer, softball, tennis and volleyball and are out to make North Carolians proud!   Thanks for supporting Team North Carolina and inspiring our state's athletes to do their best!
