Help get our Whangarei Special Olympic swimmers to Nationals

We have a little challenge up our sleeve to motivate you to donate.

For every $10 donated our athletes and coaches will swim a length of the pool (25m). we will complete a non-stop relay until the lengths are complete. Its a win-win situation, you get to control our torture...I mean training and we get to compete at Nationals! Our final total will be determined on the 1st July 2021.

This event is the highlight of our Athlete's year and will be talked about for years after they compete. Please help gift these athletes with the memories and experiences that they will gain by competing in the Nationals this year.

When you donate to Special Olympics New Zealand, you are gifting a child or adult with an intellectual disability the joy of competition, the thrill of achievement, the long-term benefits of physical activity, and a sense of belonging.

Through Special Olympics, athletes are empowered to be leaders in society. They’re given opportunities to learn skills that transcend the playing field. Athletes hold jobs, go to school, and are active members in their communities.

Special Olympics New Zealand has grown from four swimmers in 1983 to the over 6,000 athletes it serves today. But we have a long way to go.
