In 2016, Wisconsin athletes trained for joining Special Olympics Team USA to represent our nation at the 2017 World Winter Games.Regardless of the level of competition, athletes are continually encouraged to carry out the athlete oath: "Let me win. But if I cannot win, let me be brave in the attempt." 663559 0 0 PUBLIC EDUCATION:Every athlete has a story. With over 10,000 athletes in the Special Olympics Wisconsin program, there are over 10,000 stories about courage, triumph, pride and joy. SOWI's goal is to empower individuals with intellectual disabilities to become physically fit, productive and respected members of society using sports as the catalyst; and increase the public's awareness of their capabilities and needs.By engaging individuals in the Special Olympics experience through earned, owned and paid media, communities foster a supportive environment for enabling athletes, empowering families, activating youth, revolutionizing services and building exemplary communities of change. In addition to media outlets, SOWI engages with schools and youth leaders to promote social inclusion through disability awareness and unified sports activities through Unified Champion Schools Project. In 2016, SOWI teamed with 48 schools across the state to build acceptance, instill change and create leadership opportunities for students with and without disabilities.
