About

What is WTSO?

• Washington Township Special Olympics (WTSO) is a local program of Special Olympics Indiana made up of families, friends, athletes, and supporters.
• WTSO provides opportunities for athletes and partners to become fulfilled and productive members of the community by developing confidence, self-esteem, and skills in several sports.
• Ours is a unified program in which athletes are paired with non-disabled partners.
• There are no barriers due to race, gender, or age. It is a place for people of ALL abilities.
• WTSO encourages athletes and partners to develop their skills in a fun, no pressure, caring environment. They learn and laugh together.
• Like most organizations, we rely on donations, grants, and fundraising activities such as Sertoma East Bingo, our annual wreath sale, and working the Lions Club corn stand at the State Fair. Helping with these activities is fun and an important way to provide support.

Our affiliations

WTSO is affiliated with the national and state level Special Olympics organizations. Our athletes participate in many competitive events at the state level and sometimes, at the national level. The websites of both organizations are great sources for more information:
