A Glimpse Of The Past Through The Special Olympics Collection - Special Olympics had its beginning in June 1963 when Eunice Kennedy Shriver started a day camp for children and adults with mental retardation at her home in Maryland to explore their capabilities in sports and physical activities. Formal organization followed and the First International Games were held in Chicago in 1968. Winter Games occurred in Colorado in 1977. The International Year of Special Olympics was launched at the U.N. in 1986. The Law Enforcement Torch Run™ was born in 1987 with 30,000 officers raising $2 million. The White House in 1998 hosted "A Very Special Christmas" concert. The first prime time T.V. movie about the life of a Special Olympic athlete, "The Loretta Claiborne Story," was produced by Disney in 2000. Shriver was awarded the 2002 Theodore Roosevelt Award (the "Teddy") at the NCAA Honors Dinner in Indianapolis. Today, the Special Olympics is an international organization providing ... "year-round sports training and athletic competition in a variety of Olympic-type sports for children and adults with mental retardation, 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 Olympic athletes and the community."
