Get Involved

On behalf of Special Olympics Polk County, we appreciate all the Volunteers, Coaches, Sponsors and Donors who have contributed their time, talents and treasures to help make our program a success!

How To Make a Donation

SOPC is funded primarily through individual and corporate contributions, grants, sponsorships, and yearly fundraisers. This financial assistance covers many essential expenses including equipment, uniforms, transportation, meals, lodging, and more. Any contribution or assistance you can provide to help SOPC meet these financial goals is greatly appreciated! It is not permissible for SOPC to solicit donations by mail or via this website, so if you would like to make a contribution to the local Polk County program, we ask that it be made to a specific sport or upcoming event.  If you are unable to attend the event, you may mail the donation in lieu of your attendance to the following address:

Special Olympics Polk County
2215 Sleepy Hill Road
Lakeland, FL 33810
