Special Olympics


Special Olympics contribute to the physical, social and psychological development of the athletes. Through successful experiences in sports, they gain confidence and build a positive self image which carries over in the classroom, home, job and community.

The Strongsville Special Olympic program welcomes athletes from public and private schools, County Boards of MR/DD, recreation departments, surrounding communities, and parent community groups.

The Strongsville City Club has provided both financial and organizational support to the Special Olympics program for many years
. Through their generous donations the special Olympians have the necessary equipment, facilities and uniforms to compete in the local and state competition. Additionally, the Strongsville City Club constructs and sponsors a Float for the Strongsville Homecoming Parade with the Special Olympians and hosts a Holiday Breakfast annually for the Special Olympians and their families.
