What an incredible three days at Summer Games! 🎉🏅
This event is about so much more than just winning medals. It’s teammates cheering louder for each other than for themselves. It’s hugs and high fives between strangers that become friends. It’s small moments that remind us why inclusion matters in a big way.
To every athlete who competed at Summer Games: congratulations on your hard work, and thank you for always bringing the energy, joy, and tough competition.
To the volunteers, sponsors, coaches, officials, families, and fans who kept everything running: thank you for showing up, pitching in, and helping create a weekend these athletes deserve. Summer Games simply doesn’t happen without you.💕

This Memorial Day, we honor the heroes who gave everything for the freedoms we cherish today.

At Special Olympics Iowa, we see courage every day — on playing fields, in Unified communities, and in the athletes who inspire us to lead with heart. Today, we pause to remember a different kind of courage: the selfless sacrifice of the men and women who served our country and never made it home. Because of them, we are able to build a world where inclusion, unity, and opportunity can thrive.

As we gather with family and friends this weekend, may we also carry gratitude for those whose legacy lives on through the freedoms we share.

❤️🤍💙

Thank you to everyone who sprinkled a little kindness and came out for Dunkin' Cop on a Rooftop last week, especially our law enforcement partners that dedicated their time to man drive-thrus, lobbies, and roofs to support SOIA and collect donations!
The event was a sweet success, raising more than $37,000 across 25 Dunkin' locations in Iowa!
You donut know how much your support means to our athletes. THANK YOU for helping us raise funds, awareness, and plenty of smiles! 🍩❤😄

We would also like to take this time to recognize and thank Dunkin'​ for being a statewide partner of Special Olympics Iowa. Because of Dunkin's generosity, this campaign annually raises more than $35,000 for SOIA athletes, Unified partners, and programs. Thank you for being a slam dunk(in) partner!
