GOLO and Special Olympics Delaware

June 22, 2022 – GOLO, the pioneering wellness solutions company from Newark, Delaware, announced a $5,000 donation to Special Olympics Delaware, a leading non-profit focused on the needs of people with intellectual disabilities. The donation by GOLO continues the company’s ongoing commitment to supporting community-based health and wellness initiatives throughout the state of Delaware.

“We’re pleased, once again, to support the incredibly vital role that Special Olympics Delaware plays in our local community,” said Jennifer Brooks, President, GOLO, LLC. “We salute their commitment and dedication to improving the lives of people with intellectual disabilities.”

Headquartered in Newark, Delaware, GOLO empowers individuals and communities by helping them take control of their health and wellness. The company’s donation to Special Olympics Delaware will support a range of programming, including wellness education and athletic competitions.

“We are so pleased to team up again with GOLO,” said David Halley, President, and CEO of Special Olympics Delaware. “With their emphasis on supporting health and wellness programs in the community, GOLO is a fantastic fit as a partner. This donation will go directly towards funding our healthy athlete program, which will focus on health screenings and education to help ensure the long-term well-being of our athletes.”

Special Olympics stands as a leader in the field of intellectual disability and has sharpened the focus on its mission as not just "nice," but critical, not just as a sports organization for people with intellectual disabilities, but also an effective catalyst for social change. The Special Olympics movement unlocks the joy of sport to inspire people to open their minds to human giftedness, to accept, include and value people with intellectual disabilities in all aspects of life, and thereby unite people in a shared belief of a more just and welcoming world.

Special Olympics of Delaware provides year-round sports training and athletic competition in a variety of Olympic-type sports for more than 4,200 children and adults with intellectual disabilities, giving them continuing opportunities to develop physical fitness, demonstrate courage, experience joy and participate in a sharing of gifts, skills, and friendship with their families, other Special Olympics athletes, and the community.

Its Healthy Athletes program provides access to much-needed screenings and education, which improves health and fitness outcomes for people with intellectual disabilities.
