“This past year (and truly every year) Special Olympics athletes made each of us better.
While we focused on the betterment of our organization and programs, our athletes made us
better just by being themselves. Through the cruelty they have endured– they offered kindness.
Through the isolation they have lived– they offered friendship. Through the judgments placed on
them– they taught acceptance. In the victories they celebrated– we found joy.”

— Randy Mascorella, Executive Director of Special Olympics New Mexico
