The Medina Flash ⚡️
Local delegation under 🏅 Special Olympics Ohio became incorporated in 1975.

The concept of Special Olympics began in the early 1960s when Eunice Kennedy Shriver started a day camp for individuals with intellectual disabilities. The first national meet was held at Soldier Field in Chicago in 1968 for 1,000 athletes from the United States and Canada. Shortly thereafter, Ohio began a Special Olympics program under the name of the Ohio Athletic Association. Today, there are Special Olympics programs in all 50 states, the District of Columbia and 150 different countries around the world
The benefits of Special Olympics contributes to the physical, social, and psychological development of the athletes. Through successful experiences in sports, they gain confidence and build a positive self-image which carries over into the classroom, home, job and community.
