Supporting Our Mission in Orlando and Pensacola

Delanie Ross/Special Olympics Florida

Special Olympics Florida supporters in two different cities came together recently for a day of unity, purpose, and acceptance.

On October 26, in Orlando and Pensacola, they gathered to take part in our annual Race for Inclusion campaign. The Race for Inclusion – Orlando was held at the Promenade at Sunset Walk and the Race for Inclusion – Pensacola took place at Bayview Park.

More than 500 runners and walkers turned out for the 5K run/walks, which raised more than $188,000. The Race for Inclusion is an annual initiative and fundraiser to support Special Olympics Florida and foster communities where people with intellectual disabilities are treated with respect and given the opportunities they deserve.

From September through December, communities across the state host Race for Inclusion events featuring walks, runs, swims, and golf tournaments. To learn more – or to sign up for one of our remaining Race for Inclusion events – visit raceforinclusion.org.
