SPECIAL OLYMPICS USA GAMES MINNESOTA 2026

We are also hosting a very special Family Night Celebration, and each athlete will receive an "All Ball" - branded with the logos of MD5M, LCIF, LEOs, and Lions USA. This is more than just a ball— it is a symbol of unity, fun, and the spirit of inclusion we all believe in.

Our Multiple's role in this partnership:

• Raise $350,000 to sponsor
• Family Night for 3,500 Olympians and their families.
• As well as provide every athlete with A Ball for All, a goodwill gift specially designed for the athletes.

How you can help:

• Consider designating club or individual donations to LCIF's MD5M Special Olympics Fund.
• Gifts still count towards Melvin Jones Fellowships (but not District or Community Grants).
• All donations, no matter what fund they go to, are greatly appreciated!

‍

We are asking every club in MD5M to support this effort through a contribution to LCIF, earmarked for the 2026 Special Olympics Games in Minnesota.

Any donation is a good donation!
