Year-round Partnerships
Only a very special group of companies receives recognition at every Special Olympics Kentucky competition and fundraising event and those are our Year-Round Partners. Year-round partners logos appear at every event Special Olympics Kentucky holds throughout the year. No other sponsorship opportunity in our program offers this much exposure and at a fraction of the cost of sponsoring individual events.

For information about sponsorship opportunities, contact Special Olympics Kentucky Senior Vice President of Development Jennifer McMahon at 502-695-8222 or jmcmahon@soky.org for more information.

Many companies encourage their employees to take time to be involved in the community and Special Olympics Kentucky offers myriad opportunities for employee involvement at our events. You can support a venue at one of our statewide competitions or enter a team in the Truck Pull or the Polar Plunge.

Employee volunteer efforts are a tremendous team-building experience and can give your organization a definite morale boost.

Let Special Olympics athletes help Reveal the Champions Within your staff.
