About Us
The University of Rochester Special Olympics Organization aims to foster meaningful relationships between the University of Rochester students and the Greater Rochester Special Olympics Athletes through active participation in weekly practices and tournaments. We travel to various locations in Rochester, exposing our members to the wonderful variety that this city has to offer within the service world. Sport include soccer, swimming, basketball, bowling, and track and field. In turn, we push to advocate for inclusion and awareness here on our campus. We also work with the TOUR students in a new program called URConnected, which includes weekly pickup basketball games, volleyball games, and other arts and activities that we can socially participate in with all U of Rochester students.
We fundraise through events like Pie in The Eye, and are also huge advocates for the Polar Plunge, which we send a lot of members to. This organization is multifaceted, and truly strives to foster and motivate awareness and inclusion in every way we can.
