2015 Annual Report 2018 Illinois ANNUAL REPORT Illinois MESSAGE from an ATHLETE LEADER - DANIEL SMROKOWSKI 2015 Annual Report 2018 Illinois ANNUAL REPORT Illinois MESSAGE FROM AN ATHLETE LEADER - DANIEL SMROKOWSKI Communication is my biggest struggle, but also my biggest passion. That is why I started my own media company, Special Chronicles, to face my challenges instead of run away from them. It all started when I became a Special Olympics Illinois athlete, competing in swimming and basketball. Special Olympics Illinois gave me the voice to make an impact in the world, beyond sport. Because of the confidence that I gained in Special Olympics, I found additional abilities as a writer and podcaster, therefore attended Roosevelt University in Chicago, where I graduated with a Bachelor of Arts degree in Journalism. Also, while at Roosevelt, I received the 2012 Matthew Freeman Award for Social Justice for my continuing efforts via media and reporting to give people with disabilities a voice. Along with Special Olympics, one of my biggest passions is my media company, Special Chronicles. Special Chronicles is a nonprofit media platform that gives respect and a voice to people with special needs. Special Chronicles produces podcasts, award-winning columns and news stories that have reached over 127,000 viewers worldwide. Awards received due to the work at Special Chronicles, include first place for “Best Original Column” in the 2016 Illinois Press Association. One of my proudest achievements was being a member of the 50th Anniversary Marketing & Communications committee where I worked unified, alongside colleagues to help develop and initiate communications and media relations. One of which was being a columnist for a major market newspaper, the Chicago Sun-Times. 2018 has been a great year. Along with celebrating the 50th Anniversary of Special Olympics, I was lucky enough to be voted on to the Special Olympics Illinois Board of Directors as well as in September, I was selected as one of 10 athletes from around the globe to be a Sargent Shriver International Global Messenger. This is a great opportunity for me to speak with and to people about the abilities and achievements of the over 5.5 million athletes around the planet. My hope is to educate and inform our community that those with different abilities bring unconditional love and joy every day. As part of my duties as a Sargent Shriver International Global Messenger, I will serve on the Special Olympics USA Communications team. As well as using my skills in the communications arena as a production and media expert to serve Special Olympics throughout around the world. Most importantly, as a source of encouragement and strength, my loving family includes my father Adam, mother Linda and my sisters Stefanie and Caroline. To quote my mom Linda, “If all the world were like Special Olympics, then there would be no wars”. “If all the world were like Special Olympics, then there would be no wars.” MESSAGE FROM LEADERSHIP - DAVE BREEN, PRESIDENT & CEO “AS WE CELEBRATE 50 YEARS, WE ARE REMINDED THAT THE WORK IS NOT YET DONE. THIS IS A CRITICAL POINT IN THE SPECIAL OLYMPICS MOVEMENT WHERE THE ATHLETES WILL ADVOCATE BEYOND SPORTS.” Illinois Dear Special Olympics Illinois Friends: It is with great excitement that I report 2018 was the 20th consecutive year of athlete and participation growth for Special Olympics Illinois. And we have you – the athletes, families, volunteers, coaches, Board of Directors, Foundation Board, partners, donors, fans, and staff – to thank for continuing to lift this organization to new heights. With 162 Athlete Leaders making 730 appearances to almost 70,000 people, it is clear that the athletes have led the charge in Special Olympics Illinois achieving success in the ‘Big Three’ organizational goals - Improving Athlete Experience, Reaching More Athletes, and Raising More Resources. This annual report is intended to provide an overview of these 2018 accomplishments and financial activities that support Special Olympics Illinois programs and initiatives as well as give you a look at some additional highlights from the last year – such as adding 35 Unified Champion Schools, sending a delegation of 68 to the USA Games in Seattle, organizing the first Flag Football State Championship growing from zero athletes in 2015 to 900 in 2018, serving 23,197 athletes and 17,233 Young Athletes across the state, and the Illinois Law Enforcement Torch Run achieving #2 in the world in raising resources to support the athletes. Not to mention, 2018 marked a milestone year for Special Olympics – we celebrated our 50th Anniversary with a global celebration in the birthplace of the first games, right here in Illinois. We are proud Special Olympics Illinois could join in hosting such a monumental event and thank so many of you for helping us celebrate in Chicago with the first ever Unified Football Cup, a Global Day of Inclusion festival and concert, a Commemorative Law Enforcement Torch Run, and the lighting of the Eternal Flame of Hope Monument outside Soldier Field. As a symbol of inclusion and unity, the Eternal Flame of Hope Monument is a dedication to the history of Special Olympics and a statement of how far the Movement has come. The 50th Anniversary allowed us to show the world the strength of Special Olympics Illinois, and we will continue to strive to be a global leader in the Inclusion Revolution, shaping a culture where people with and without intellectual disabilities are fully integrated into the community by providing year round opportunities in competitive sports, health education, leadership and personal development. The momentum of 2018 has given Special Olympics Illinois the energy and resources needed in 2019 to further our efforts of the ‘Big Three’ and plan the strategic future of the organization. On behalf of Special Olympics Illinois, I extend my sincere gratitude for the enormous efforts of all who helped to make 2018 a success. In the words of Eric Baumann, Executive Committee of the 50th Anniversary and Special Olympics Illinois Athlete, “Let’s work toward a world where we are not labeled as ‘disabled,’ but a world that sees us as equals where we are all included.” President and CEO Special Olympics Illinois 20th Year of Consecutive Growth 23,197 Athletes 18 Served Olympic-type Sports Offered $0 Charged to 3,921 athletes 200 Free Health Competitions to participate Screenings throughout at 40 Clinics the state 278 Unified Champion Schools 162 Athlete Leaders and 3 athletes 48,100 on the Board of Volunteers Directors GLOBAL 50th ANNIVERSARY CELEBRATION 225 buildings worldwide participated in the Light Up for Inclusion initiative on July 20th, creating a global display of tolerance, respect and celebration of difference 20th Year of Consecutive Growth GLOBAL 50th ANNIVERSARY CELEBRATION 24 teams from over 21 countries participated in the Unified Cup 20,000+ participants in the Global Day of Inclusion 1,500+ attendees at the Lighting of the Eternal Flame 10,000+ attendees at the 50th Anniversary Concert Statement of Activities Illinois Statement of Financial Activities Revenues, Gains and Support 2017 2018 Direct Marketing, Contributions & Grants $10,512,391 $12,576,410 In Kind Support $4,562,620 $4,859,505 Interest, Gain, Other Revenue $443,034 $(69,943) Total Revenue Gains and Other Support $15,518,045 $17,365,972 Expenses Program Services $12,215,893 $13,294,977 Fundraising $2,338,928 $669,650 Management and General $761,731 $2,524,487 Total Expenses $15,316,552 $16,489,114 Increase in Net Surplus/(Deficit) $201,493 $876,858 Ending Net Assets $5,714,677 $6,591,535 EIN # 36-2922811 81% of our budget goes to program expenses FAMILY Saneatha has been a participant with Special Olympics Illinois through PTOEC since 2014. She began in gymnastics and quickly added bowling, swimming, softball, volleyball, and basketball. We quickly realized how athletic she was and how sports became her passion. But her love of sports was not what caught our attention. Saneatha almost instantly became a social being amongst her peers making friends quickly from near and far, which was something I never thought possible since she has always been someone who stays to herself. Saneatha has quite the collection of medals from the past few years of competitions. She has been to state competitions in Bloomington for Gymnastics and Basketball, Decatur for Softball, and Rockford for Volleyball. Her most memorable moments were from 2018 and 2019. During this time, she participated in the Belleville Polar Plunge, Summer Games, Outdoor Sports Festival, State Basketball, and Fall Games. She also participated in Gymnastics at the 2018 USA Games in Seattle, WA bringing home 5 gold medals! Saneatha met a tremendous amount of people during her stay at USA Games from celebrities to other athletes to many fans. I remember telling her to hold on to these moments and cherish them because it would probably never happen again. However, just a few short months after returning home we received a call inviting her to the 2019 World Games in Abu Dhabi as a level 4 gymnast for Team USA! Traveling to the Middle East was never on her bucket list, but Special Olympics Illinois, once again, found a way to show her what she was missing. During this trip, Saneatha and the rest of Team USA left a few days earlier than families to learn and enjoy the customs of Dubai and Abu Dhabi before having the jitters of competition. It was this trip that made everything come together for us as parents and her as an athlete. As we sat at Opening Ceremonies watching the parade of athletes from all around the world, I finally realized my child who has struggled with acceptance, learning, speaking, socializing – this list can go on and on – is truly happy on the inside and out.
