65 2 0 1 9 - 2 0 2 0 HEALTHY ATHLETES The Healthy Athletes program is dedicated to providing health services and education to Special Olympics athletes, and changing the way health systems interact with people with intellectual disabilities. The vision is to create a future world where people with intellectual disabilities have the same opportunities to be as healthy as people without intellectual disabilities and, in doing so, Special Olympics athletes can perform to their best on and off the playing field. Healthy Athletes is a featured activity at Summer Games, however, when competition was canceled for 2020, the Healthy Athletes programming shifted to a virtual fitness focus. This shift was able to help athletes who, like all Delawareans, were being quarantined at home. The virtual activities included competitions, prizes, and family fun! Supporting Sponsor
