Of all the celebrations that take place during the holidays, there is one that will forever stand out to the Special Olympics athletes, youth leaders, supporters and staff who attended. On December 10, 2024, President Joe Biden hosted a dinner titled, “A Christmas for All: Celebration of Unity, America and Special Olympics.” The event recognized the work that Special Olympics, with the support of the Biden administration and Members of Congress, has done to engage U.S. government officials, educators, health professionals, parents, coaches, youth and communities everywhere to not only fight intolerance, but inspire us all to be more inclusive.
