We're not just running sports programs. We're changing lives. 

When Aaron was young, connecting with others didn't come easily. He struggled with social interactions and understanding sports. His family searched for opportunities that would help him grow and find his place.

Then they found Special Olympics Minnesota.

For the past 17 years, Special Olympics has been part of Aaron's journey, helping shape him into the confident, determined athlete he is today. Along the way, he built friendships, gained confidence, strengthened his social skills, and discovered a passion for competition.

This summer, Aaron achieved a lifelong dream when he competed in soccer at the 2026 Special Olympics USA Games
