Governor Ron DeSantis and First Lady Casey DeSantis welcomed Special Olympians to the Governor’s Mansion last week for a celebration that featured medal winners from the Special Olympics 2022 USA Games and athletes and teams who were unable to participate due to the vaccination requirement that was in place until the week of the games. Special Olympics Florida representatives were there and will organise an All-Star Champions Showcase for Floridians and national athletes who were unable to attend the games.
“In Florida we ensured all Special Olympians could compete, and today we are celebrating a job well done in the 2022 USA Games,” said Governor Ron DeSantis. “We saw many Floridians with special abilities win medals, but most importantly they used their God-given abilities to play sports together and have fun.”
“These athletes deserve to be celebrated for their accomplishments,” said First Lady Casey DeSantis. “I am proud of the effort they put forward at the games and excited for them to have the opportunity to participate in the All-Star Showcase. In Florida, we will always fight for Floridians with unique abilities, including our inspirational athletes.”
