Agency 9V9ission•Statement:
The mission of Special Olympics East Hawaii is to provide year-round sports
training and athlete competition with a variety of Olympic type sports for all
individuals with mental retardation or developmental disabilities eight years of
age and up. Special o;ympics gives them continuing opprotunities to develop
physical fitness, demonstrate courage, experience joy, and participate in the
sharing of gifts, skills, and friendships with their families, other Special Olympic

We offer nine sports throughtout the year including an equestrian program
started in the Honokaa area in the spring of 2000. Special Olympics fast Hawaii

operation. The community as well as the schools are extremely supportive and
actively assist us in all of our events.
The critical need for the Special Olympics East hawaii program is to raise the
level of health, fitness, and sports competence for those individuals with mental
retardation or developmental disabilities. Numerous studies coming form the
Surgeon General's report, American heart Association, American Diabetes
Association, And American Council on Physical on Physical Fitness state there is
a general lack of physical fitness and health in our youth today. Physical inactivity
is increasing which translates into a higher risk for asthma, cancer, iabetes,
heart disease, and stroke. Individuals with developmental disabilities are even
more susepitble particularly in Hawaii. Sy providing a sports training as well as a
fitness program to these individuals, we not only raise their level of physical
fitness, but also bring these furture citizens of hawaii onto a community whereby
they are accepted, respected, and given the opportunity to become productive
citizens in society. Other research including studies from yale have shown that
the length of time athletes have been in Special Olympics has been a better
predicator of social competence and integration than IQ tests. We need to
empwer these individuals as they are also an intregral entity of our future.
Special Olympics of East Hawaii's geographical area encompasses 3,644 miles.
This area includes Phala through North Kohala. Our population is diverse
culturally, economically, as well as socially. many of our athletes come from
disadvantaged homes. our goal is to continue to actively recuit these individuals
as well as raise the awareness of the fact that such a program exists. For many
of these athletes, Special Olympics is their life and gives them that social as well
as physical outlet.
The primary beneficiaries of Special Olympics East Hawaii are those persons
eight years of age and older who have been identified by an agency or
professional as having mental retardation or cognitive delays as determined by
special measures. It is open and free to these individuals. Athletes compete and
are grouped according to their age as well as ability level. Everyone wins and
receives an award including a participation ribbon. Special Olympics also has a
program that offers training to those persons with profound linitations where the
program emphasizes individual skills and participation.
Currently we have over 140 athletes. Our goal is to increase our number once
again by 10% particulary targeting the outlaying areas. We also want to increase
family involvment by 10% as stregthened families make for a better community.
Our reguest, therefore, is $10,000 to assist us in the ourtreach and training of our
Special Olympics program. This includs books, materials, packets, outreach
materials, as well as the training of athletes, coaches, families, and volunteers.
Included is the transportation of athletes to various sportsw venues on our island
awell as off island trips.
