About Swing for the Gold
"Swing for the Gold" is part of Special Olympics Hawaii's ongoing commitment to providing year-round training and competitions at local, area, and chapter levels. Athletes have opportunities to participate in various sports such as Aquatics, Basketball, Soccer, Softball, Tennis, and more, advancing from local events to larger chapter competitions.
The Roots of Special Olympics
The Special Olympics story began in 1946 with the Kennedy family’s founding of the Joseph P. Kennedy, Jr. Foundation. Originally focused on preventing mental retardation and improving societal treatment of those with mental challenges, it gained momentum in the 1950s with the involvement of Eunice and Robert Sargent Shriver. They initiated a summer day camp in Rockville, MD, proving that people with mental disabilities could enjoy and benefit from recreational activities. Their success led to grants for similar camps nationwide.
Growth and Impact
Established in December 1968, Special Olympics Inc. has grown into a non-profit dedicated to offering year-round sports training and competitions for individuals with mental challenges. These efforts help foster greater understanding and inclusion within communities. Notably, funds raised in Hawaii remain in the state, supporting local programs for thousands with mental disabilities.
