Health has a substantial impact on quality of life for people with intellectual disabilities (ID) and affects Special Olympics athletes’ ability to train and compete in sports. Despite severe need and higher health risks, people with ID lack access to quality health services and prevention opportunities, resulting in avoidable health conditions at rates higher than peers without ID.
Healthy Athletes is a Special Olympics program that provides free medical screenings and education for people with intellectual disabilities.
Through healthy athletes programs, Special Olympics:
* Ensures quality Health Screenings/Referrals for athletes.
* Offers Health Professionals the opportunity to learn how to treat people with intellectual disabilities and be more prone to welcome them into their practices.




















Kroger’s Community Rewards program lets shoppers easily support Special Olympics by linking their Plus Card to a local or state Special Olympics organization, earning donations for them with every purchase at no extra cost to the shopper. To participate, you sign up or log in at Kroger.com, find the Community Rewards section, and select your chosen Special Olympics branch (e.g., Special Olympics Georgia, Kentucky) as your charity, requiring annual re-enrollment to continue supporting them.
How it Works
Sign Up/Log In: Go to kroger.com and create or sign into your Kroger account.
Link Your Card: Register your Kroger Plus Card (or phone number linked to your account).
Find Your Charity: In the Community Rewards section, search for your local Special Olympics (e.g., Special Olympics Georgia, code 57973; Special Olympics Delaware Co., code SA652).
Shop & Earn: Swipe your Plus Card or use your phone number at checkout; Kroger donates a percentage of your total to your selected charity.
Key Things to Remember
Annual Re-enrollment: You must re-enroll each year to keep supporting your chosen charity.
Supports Local Programs: Funds benefit local Special Olympics programs, covering sports, uniforms, and events.
No Cost to You: You earn your own fuel points and rewards, while the charity gets donations from Kroger.
