The 2022 Special Olympics USA Games celebrated that the largest-ever USA Games are only three months away with all-new announcements and news, including fundraisers and Games Ambassadors.
The USA Games will be held June 5-12 at Central Florida venues such as ESPN’s Wide World of Sports and Osceola Heritage Park. The USA Games shared Games week branding on two Games-wrapped LYNX buses, and introduced Superstars from WWE and Special Olympics Florida athletes.
The milestone marks the final months until 5,500 Special Olympics athletes, coaches, and Unified Partners, as well as 10,000 volunteers and approximately 100,000 plus spectators, will attend the USA Games.
Joe Dzaluk, USA Games President & CEO, said, “The next three months will provide big opportunities for our athletes to shine and bring attention to the mission of inclusion and the largest-ever USA Games in history. We have phenomenal support from partners such as Jersey Mike’s Subs, who launched their nationwide fundraiser earlier this month, benefitting the Games. WWE has pledged to use its vast resources in support of the Games.”
Jason Siegel, President & CEO of the Greater Orlando Sports Commission, shared how the community can get involved with the 2022 Special Olympics USA Games. Siegel emphasized that the USA Games needs to fill more than 20,000 volunteer shifts and recruit more than 10,000 volunteers. In addition to volunteering, he encouraged the community to come out and cheer on athletes during the week of the Games.
