History Nationally Special Olympics started in June of 1963, when Eunice Kennedy Shriver started a summer day camp for children and adults who were physically and mentally handicapped. Shriver is the executive vice-president of the Joseph P. Kennedy Jr. Foundation. She is the honorary chairman of Special Olympics. In 1968, Special Olympics International was established as a non-profit charitable organization under the laws of the District of Columbia. The National Association of Retarded Citizens, The Council for Exceptional Children and the American Association of Mental Deficiency pledge their support. This was the first systematic effort to provide sports training and athletic competition for individuals with mental retardation. Special Olympics growth has been spectacular since those first years. There are accredited Special Olympics programs in more than 144 countries with new programs continually developing. In the United States there are established chapters in all 50 states. Back to top Locally In Elko the Special Olympics chapter has been quite a success and the program has helped a tremendous amount of our local physically and mentally challenged citizens. The Special Olympics program director in Elko is Sue Davis. Sue is an energetic and caring mother and is also the program director at the Vitality Center which rehabilitates dependency problems. Mrs. Davis has a bright, energetic daughter named Cari that is a competitor in the local and state games. Special Olympics is a non-profit organization and has fund raisers every year to help pay for equipment, travel expenses to tournaments etc. A great example of this is the "Muddy Ball" game every year that is a messy good time all to raise money for the local Special Olympics.

Gallery Kosciusko County Special Olympics History Excerpts from a journal kept by Maxine Birchum In 1973, after 3 years of research it was decided to start a Special Olympic program for Kosciusko County. Dr. Howard Wilson of Cardinal Center and Maxine Birchum were pivotal in getting things started. On April 28, 1973, the first event to be held was a local track and field event at Warsaw High School track. It was so cold and blustery most of us were too bundled up to move. But try! They all did their best in spite of the weather. Results of the tryouts weren't known that day and no one realized the importance of the events, so no cameras were on hand. Our team traveled to South Bend to compete in the Regional Meet on May 12, 1973. We were entered in the following events: 50 yard dash Standing long jump 100 yard dash 25 yard free style - Swimming 100 yard dash 50 yard free style - Swimming There were many blue, red, yellow and green ribbons handed out that day. Records were not kept of how many because we still didn't realize how important this event was becoming. After the Regional Meet we realized what we were up against, so for the next five weeks, practice was held twice a week. Everyone worked hard to build physical fitness and practice their particular event. Preparations were underway to go to the State Meet in Terre Haute scheduled for June 21, 1973. It took a lot of planning to take 24 students on a jaunt like this for 3 days with only 5 supervisors.
