A MESSAGE FROM OUR CHAIRMAN OF THE BOARD AND CEO

Dear Friends and Fans,

In 1970, 500 Special Olympics Georgia (SOGA) athletes trained and participated in the first-ever competition held within our organization. 46 years later, we are in amazement at the continued growth of activity and support our organization has seen. 2016 was a year filled with celebrations of friendships and accomplishments, competitions that showcased bravery and sportsmanship, and newly formed relationships within communities across Georgia.

Some of the highlights of 2016 are:  36,645 Georgians throughout the state invested their commitment in SOGA programs through their volunteerism, unwavering support at competitions and special events, and commitment to our 27,110 athletes.  Through the Healthy Athletes® Initiative, 792 athletes received healthcare screenings, resources and referrals from volunteer medical professionals, promoting wellness and improving health.  8,040 athletes, coaches and unified partners competed in the five State Competitions.  Over 50 law enforcement agencies comprised Law Enforcement Torch Run and ended their fundraising year raising more than $1,000,000, not only surpassing their fundraising goals, but raising the most money and awareness ever in one year.

We could not have exceeded our goals and achieved our accomplishments without the continued and generous support of our families, coaches, donors, volunteers and fans. As we reflect on a year of excellence in celebrations, competitions and community, we eagerly look forward to an even brighter future.

Thank you for being the steady heartbeat of our organization and the united fans for all Special Olympics Georgia athletes!

Sincerely,

Georgia Milton-Sheats Mike Twiner Chief Executive Officer Chairman of the Board

Meet Marcus Baxley

Douglas County athlete, Marcus Baxley, remembers a specific day in his life all too well. The month was October of 2003. It was the night of his first date after his divorce. “I was heading home from the date on my motorcycle when I was hit from the rear by a drunk driver. My helmet slung off and my head hit the curb,” Marcus recalled. The bone in his skull cracked upon impact, leaving Marcus not only in coma for over a year, but with permanent neurological damage. Upon awaking in his own house, Marcus was bed-ridden and mute for one year.

“The wreck was a life changing experience,” commented Marcus’ mother. “We experienced many setbacks. Marcus had a lot of brain surgeries. When he awoke, that was the toughest because I didn’t know if my son was there. He had become quadriplegic and unresponsive.”

Five years after the tragic accident, Marcus’ mother learned about a local bowling league affiliated with Special Olympics Georgia, as she was looking for additional methods to help Marcus to continue to learn and develop not only socially, cognitively and physically, but to also learn and develop self-confidence and persistence. She discovered Marcus qualified to join, and he connected with his inner athlete, starting training in bocce, softball and bowling.

With Marcus’ training and competition, he has grown leaps and bounds, reaching what some would say “miraculous” levels of cognitive, social, and physical abilities after an accident so severe. “The doctors have never seen a case like his; to be as injured as he was and to make the recovery he has is incredible. Special Olympics Georgia has helped tremendously with getting him to his best quality of life. It gave him the drive to get better and the encouragement to work harder,” Marcus’ mother continued.

While October of 2003 is a date that Marcus Baxley will never forget, his experiences as an athlete for Special Olympics Georgia are even stronger memories for the gold medalist. “Special Olympics is family for me. I just want to help the people that have helped me, and it’s good for me to be there for them.”

Meet Elena Weaver Elena Weaver was born with devastating multiple birth defects. Her parents recall their being no hope for a normal life, but somehow they found the strength and bravery to fight for her. As she began to progress, her family gained hope that she could have some kind of limited, but reasonable, future. “As she grew stronger and celebrated more birthdays, we discovered Elena had dreams about what she wanted to accomplish in her life,” commented Elena’s parents.

“I’ve always wanted to be a gymnast,” answered Elena. Her parents had no idea if her dreams could come true and certainly did not know how to help her make them a reality. Then, they met a teacher who introduced them to a place where the impossible is made possible and dreams become reality: Special Olympics Georgia.

Once part of Special Olympics Georgia, Elena found a gymnastics program, and her family dedicated their time and energy to doing anything that would help Elena. Through the support of her family and the training through Special Olympics Georgia, Elena competed in artistic gymnastics, quickly becoming a state champion. She also exceled at rhythmic gymnastics, receiving gold medals on state, national and international levels.

Outside of competitions, Elena was named the first Law Enforcement Torch Run Ambassador for Special Olympics Georgia and won 11 Alive’s Community Service Award in 2013 for her service to helping communities in Atlanta. She has learned how to not only take care of others, but take care of herself. “Because of Special Olympics, I eat healthy and exercise daily. Special Olympics has also given me confidence, friends, and happiness,” Elena declared.
