Special Olympics is a year-round international program of sports training and athletic competition for children and adults with intellectual disabilities, giving them continuing opportunities to develop physical fitness, demonstrate courage, experience joy and participate in the sharing of gifts, skills and friendship with their families, other Special Olympics athletes and the community. By using sport as a vehicle for social change, Special Olympics Virginia strives to create opportunities for meaningful interaction and self discovery for everyone, and the organization’s goal is to open the heart and mind of every Virginian to the value and ability of the intellectually disabled. Special Olympics Virginia Inc. is the state program of Special Olympics Incorporated.

| My personal message: |
|
You can use a lot of words to describe people with intellectual disabilities: athlete, inspiration, co-worker, sibling, friend...Just don't use the "R" word retard. It's not funny, it's not cool, it's just mean even if you don't mean it that way.
For Hoos and Hokies fans, the most powerful "R" word is rivals. Help Special Olympics Virginia replace the word "retard" in 2008. Donate now to earn additional letters and help the Hokies complete the word RIVALS first! Each team will start with the letter "R" and earn additional letters (I, V, A, L, S) for each $1,000 raised.
Bragging rights will be awarded to the first alumni club to reach their $5,000 fundraising target by July 1, 2008. Donating through the Firstgiving R word page is simple, fast and totally secure. Many thanks for your support -- and don't forget to forward this to other Hokies who you think might want to donate too.
Don't be a fan of the word "retard." Change your attitude and be a fan of the Special Olympics Virginia movement by visiting our web site www.specialolympicsva.org today!
