Description

Come tee it up to support Special Olympics Georgia athletes at the 27th Annual Bob Busse Golf Classic! Enjoy 18 holes of golf at the beautiful Atlanta Country Club, along with a silent auction going on during the tournament. The event is taking place on November 7th, 2022.

Our goal this year is to raise $130,000 that will go straight to helping Special Olympics Georgia’s 17,000 athletes participate and grow from all we have to offer as an organization.
Sponsorship will help raise monies that will directly offset more than $1,019,445 in expenses associated with Special Olympics Georgia’s State Games and other athlete programs including lodging, meals, travel expenses and more.

The mission of Special Olympics Georgia is to provide year-round sports training and athletic competition in a variety of Olympic-type sports for all children and adults with intellectual disabilities, giving them continuing opportunities to develop physical fitness, demonstrate courage, experience joy, and participate in the sharing of gifts, skills and friendship with their families, other Special Olympics athletes and the community.

Our goal is to help bring persons with intellectual disabilities into the larger society under conditions whereby they are accepted, respected, and given the chance to become useful and productive citizens. When we achieve this goal through our sports program, we demonstrate that Special Olympics has a unique value: to show the world that every person counts and that every person can be something good when we work together.
Special Olympics Georgia invests in people with intellectual disabilities, helping them to develop athletic skills, while also promoting the abilities of the athletes off the field.

When our athletes succeed, attitudes change, communities develop, health and self-esteem is built, and the eyes of the world are focused on all that is good and hopeful and positive.

Athletes gain skills for employment, learn independent living skills, form relationships and help others understand their extraordinary capabilities despite health issues they experience daily.
