Our Partners

Corporations that partner with Special Olympics share our brand values. We are a trusted, inclusive organization reaching deep into local communities around Ontario. Our programs succeed in changing lives, building advocacy networks and creating a lasting, positive impact. Consumers recognize us as a brand deserving respect, loyalty and good will.

We offer corporate partnership packages at various levels and have opportunities to support an ongoing program, Special Olympics Provincial Games or other major initiatives within the movement.  Each Special Olympics corporate relationship is individually structured to best meet the company’s objectives and our organization’s needs.

Corporate partner employees have the opportunity to become directly involved with our organization. Employees can volunteer at various sporting events and fundraising initiatives. Volunteering is an effective way to learn more about Special Olympics athletes, its mission and ways to become part of a global movement and help make a positive impact on the lives of athletes with an intellectual disability.

IMPORTANT NOTE: It is suggested that local fundraising efforts avoid approaching provincial or national sponsors in order to prevent duplication of support, or confusion on the part of the sponsoring partner. That said, if there is an existing agreement or relationship with the local branch or franchise of one of these companies, there is no intent to prevent that from continuing. 

Local Sponsors and Partners

There are often opportunities for local communities and clubs to partner with organizations and businesses at a local level. When entering into these partnerships, it is important to consider the following:

• Coordinating any sponsorship asks with your local community council
• Working with the provincial Manager of Community Fundraising and Sponsorship to ensure there are no conflicts with existing National and Provincial Sponsors, or larger ongoing partnership discussions/negotiations.
• Ensure that the potential partner/sponsor does not have values that conflict with the mission and values of Special Olympics Ontario (https://www1.specialolympicsontario.com/our-mission/). If you have any concerns, please contact the Manager of Community Fundraising and Sponsorship.

For more information please contact Jason Hussak – Manager of Community Fundraising and Sponsorship.
