Why:We wish to contribute to this organization to support and spread the positive influence of Special Olympics throughout our community by increasing the awareness of people who are intellectually challenged and to promote the positive thinking of them as not having “disabilities”, but instead “different abilities”. We believe that many people at Monta Vista live inside their own bubble, shielded from much of the real world, and we want to increase support and acceptance of all members of society, no matter what abilities they are born with.
