The Family Support Network is based on the premise that family members of Special Olympics athletes are valuable and have an important role to play in Special Olympics outreach.

Today, thousands of family members of Special Olympics athletes serve as key leaders and sources of support for one another as they attend training, competitions, meetings and other activities together. Our program engages families unfamiliar with Special Olympics by developing partnerships with existing community organizations and by training Family Messengers to become leaders and spokespeople for the Special Olympics Program.

Families are the engine of Special Olympics and when families are brought together in a caring, positive way—and that makes the cheers for our athletes even louder.
