Fall Mountain Special Olympics

Our amazingly talented Fall Mountain Special Olympics team actively participates in alpine skiing, snowboarding, snowshoeing, track and field, swimming, bocce ball, basketball, and bowling competitions!

 We are also excited to announce that our athletes age range spans from the age of 8 to 53 years, and they all support each other unconditionally! 

FMSO had a wonderful experience at UNH this past June and competed with athletes across the state. We were able to take home several Gold, Silver and Bronze metals.  

Our bowling season is under way and we are ready to compete at the regional tournament on November 9th. After the holidays, our athletes will be ready to tackle our winter events: skiing, snowboarding and basketball. Fall Mountain Special Olympics is ecstatic to show off their awesome court skills and ready to shred the trails! 

Over the past 20+ years, the generous financial support of our local community members has allowed our wonderfully diverse and talented athletes the ability to access leisure activities that will help them grow physically and socially, as well as building, and developing positive lifelong skills. Our athletes compete year-round in an array of different sporting events that provide them with an opportunity to train and compete with other athletes around the state.

Fall Mountain Special Olympics is an all-volunteer organization that relies on the support of our local community. No federal funds are used and our athletes are never charged registration fees to participate in any program. The funds we raise directly benefit our local athletes, which currently consist of several individuals throughout the Fall Mountain Regional School District, surrounding towns, as well as athletes from Vermont.

The annual cost per athlete averages $600, which includes registration fees for fall, winter, and summer games, training, food, and lodging. Additional costs we also have to consider include travel, uniforms, and equipment. We are committed to ensuring that all athletes are able to participate, regardless of their financial status. In an effort to maintain that commitment, FMSO athletes and volunteers take part in various fundraisers throughout the year. These efforts bring in about half our annual operating expenses, which is why your support is incredibly valuable to our athletic team. Without the financial support of our local community, we simply couldn’t keep our team going. We are asking for your support, and any monetary donation would be greatly appreciated!
