Special Olympics In Muscatine
Special Olympics provides sports and activities for youth and adults with Intellectual Disabilities. They are finding success, joy and friendship as part of our community. They are also having lots of fun!
COMMUNITY INVOLVEMENT & SUPPORT
We are proud to recognize Quinn Riess and Sgt. Willie Leza of the Muscatine County Sheriff’s Office, recipients of the Scott Bryant Memorial “Unsung Hero” Award. This prestigious award honors their exceptional, multi-year commitment to fundraising and volunteering in support of Special Olympics Muscatine. Their dedication and support help make a lasting difference for our athletes and our program.
MORE THAN SPORTS
Special Olympics is about more than competition. Our program helps athletes build independence, strengthen social skills, gain confidence, and create lifelong friendships through sports, practices, and community activities. This Fall, athletes will continue to grow and have fun through Football, Pickleball, Unified Golf, and Bowling.
