special olympics world summer games 2003
Provides a unique and unparalleled sporting and cultural experience for the athletes taking part, their coaches and families, and the volunteers, combining the excitement of sport with the opportunity for personal distinction and pride. Funding is used for both general running costs and the Sponsor an Athlete program, through which The AIF supports an individual athlete during the Games.

"Moving forward, the Games Organising Committee is responsible for ensuring that the legacy of the Games is built on. Over the next four years the organisation aims to grow the number of athletes 100% — from 8,000 to 16,000. Special Olympics Ireland would be delighted to continue what has been a fruitful and mutually beneficial relationship with The American Ireland Fund.”
