YOUR IMPACT
Join us in supporting Special Olympics Canada Foundation
motionball’s goal is to raise the important funds needed in order to ensure that later this year, all Special Olympics programs can return stronger than ever, to ensure that no athlete is left behind.
For many athletes, Special Olympics is not just about sport, or staying healthy, but also about providing a social network, a sense of belonging and a valuable source of stability – all essential to mental and physical health.
By making a donation to motionball or entering a Team to participate, you're helping to ensure that our friends at Special Olympics have the resources they need to stay active at home and that when the time comes, they can safely return to the sport programs they love.
motionball remains committed to the health and safety of our participants, volunteers and Special Olympics athletes. motionball will ensure any in-person elements of our 2021 events, align with local public health guidelines and the Special Olympics Canada return-to play-guidelines.
