On this day 23 years ago, our founder Eunice Kennedy Shriver became the 1st living woman to be honored with a commemorative U.S. coin for her vision in founding our movement! #SpecialOlympics50
In 1968, 1,000 athletes w/ intellectual disabilities competed at our 1st games in Chicago, USA. Since then, our movement has reached millions of athletes worldwide.
This July, we celebrate our revolutionary past & bright future ahead: https://t.co/CEiQJRUaPF #SpecialOlympics50
