Annual
Report
2015
From Young Athletes to Senior Sports,
From Local Schools to the International Stage,
You Helped us Get There in 2015.
LETTER FROM THE CEO
Dear Friends,
There are many ways our community comes together. In 2015, the support from donors, corporate
partners, volunteers and our athletes and their families allowed the Special Olympics Movement to
grow in Massachusetts. There was an increase in athlete participation, more competitions and deeper
more meaningful partnerships with businesses, schools and universities. So, what does that mean? Why
is growth and stronger partnerships important to Special Olympics?
The strength that you give us means a greater emphasis on inclusion and opportunities for individuals
with intellectual disabilities of all ages – starting at two years-old!
•
Because of you and partners like the Middleboro YMCA who hosted a Young Athletes program more children will get a head-start at an active lifestyle.
• Because of you and corporate partners like Bank of America, who supports School Day Games
across the state, Special Olympics athletes have the opportunity to take center stage.
• Because of your support, the MIAA partnership kicked off the school year announcing that they
would host the first ever State Championship in Unified Sports. In addition to track & field, Unified
basketball was introduced to MIAA schools.
• Because of your support, members of the Law Enforcement Torch Run for Special Olympics raised
over $550,000 in 2015. Perhaps more importantly, this group of dedicated men and women raised
awareness with brand-new events in communities from Chicopee to the Cape. Your support of
these events makes our mission stronger.
•Because of you, the thousands of individual donors, athletes have access to well-maintained equipment, uniforms that are worthy of the Special Olympics logo and facilities that provide the highest quality sports experience. Because of your generosity, Special Olympics sports are available
to 12,000 athletes with intellectual disabilities, including Hyman Sher who turns 104 years old in
2016.
The work done over the past year has further developed a continuum of service in more and more
communities. Because of you there are now programs in all 14 counties in Massachusetts! Thank
you for the effort, energy and passion you have put into ensuring Special Olympics is a valued asset in each of your communities. We look forward to growing even stronger in 2016 and beyond.
Sincerely,
Mary Beth McMahon
Training For Life
Special Olympics Massachusetts supports athletes beginning at two years-old with the Young Athletes
Program. Local programs are available for children starting at eight years-old with School-based
competitions providing athletic opportunities through high school, to adulthood. The adult local program
sports offerings are our most extensive and include training and competition in 24 disciplines. As long as
you want to stay active and compete, we will find a team and sport for you to compete with.
Our oldest athlete is 104 years old!
Special Olympics
Young Athletes ™
2015 was a big year for Young Athletes.
New Young Athletes programs debuted
in North Andover at Merrimack
College, in Sandwich on the Cape, in
Marlborough at the Yawkey Sports
Training Center and in Marion hosted by
Tabor Academy.
These programs are key to the
continued growth of the community
based approach. The goal being to
welcome athletes as young as two
years-old and providing athletic
opportunities throughout their lives.
These young athletes are the future of
Special Olympics Massachusetts.
“It’s almost impossible to leave
something like this without a
smile on your face.”
-Molly Bent, Tabor Academy Senior
Traditional &
Unified Sports
Erin Delahunty - or “Tee-tee” as her nieces and
nephews call her - loves to run. She started
participating in Special Olympics events as
a high schooler growing up in Connecticut. Delahunty says that she chose running
because she wanted to see what track and
field would be like, and figured it would be
fun to be active outside. Decades later, at 40
years old, she’s still at it.
Delahunty is a distance runner, and an
impressive one at that. At the 2003 World
Games in Dublin, Ireland, she ran the 1500
and 3000 meter races. That’s a collective 3
miles of racing. Traveling to Ireland for the
World Games was a monumental experience
for Delahunty, as she met and competed with
Special Olympics athletes from all over the
world.

Delahunty received two silver medals at those
World Games, and while she would love to
return to the world stage for a chance at gold,
she isn’t upset or disappointed by what she
has already accomplished.
“It doesn’t matter if I get medals or ribbons,
as long as I’m doing my best and supporting
the team and practicing good sportsmanship,”
Delahunty says. She truly embraces the idea
that athletics is about getting out there,
Erin with 20 of the medals she has won!
having fun, and staying fit. “As long as I do my
best,” she says, “I’m happy.”
This is an attitude that Delahunty has
cultivated through decades of competing,
and having drilled into her head the voices
of announcers at track meets: “Everybody’s
a winner!” It’s an attitude that comes from
having memorized the Special Olympics
Athlete Oath (“Let me win, but if I cannot win,
let me be brave in the attempt.”)
Delahunty is a three sport athlete, competing
in track, soccer, and skiing for Special
Olympics. One of the hardest questions that
can be posed to Delahunty is which sport is
her favorite. “It’s hard to choose, because I
just love to do outdoor events; it’s nice to get
out there any time of year,” she says.
Athleticism is a lifestyle choice for Erin
Delahunty, and it is one that she has most
definitely mastered.

School Programs
My name is Sam Zeno and this is my second
year being involved with unified sports. For
the past two years I have been lucky enough
to participate in the Special Olympics/ MASC
recreational bocce tournament as well as the
Polar Plunge event. I learned about these
fun events through Student Council and I
am so grateful to be able to participate in
them. There is no community as strong as
that created by unified sports. It is filled with
friendship, acceptance, love, and spirit. I’ve
learned the significance of these qualities, as
well as what it means to play unified. Fans
on the stands cheer not only for their own
team, but for all the players. All day we get to
meet new people from across the state. The
unification at these events amazes me and has
shown me that love is everywhere.
SOMA has affected me by teaching me how
to improve my character. Although I have
only been to the bocce tournament twice,
I’ve seen kindness there like I’ve never seen
anywhere else. I love being around so many
wonderful and kind people because these
traits are contagious. Fans and players have
shown me the value of spirit and enthusiasm.
I’ve found myself being kinder, more spirited,
and more enthusiastic than ever and then
bringing these qualities back to my school.
Unified sports have changed the culture of my
school because all of those that participate
bring kindness, acceptance, and a strong
sense of community back to Minnechaug.
Other students see these qualities and take
the example. Unified Sports have created
a stronger and more loving community at
my school. The opportunity to be involved
with SOMA has changed who I am and has
improved Minnechaug. My past two years
participating in unified sports have been
extremely rewarding and I cannot wait for
year’s bocce tournament!

After all of the preparation, training

represented Massachusetts at the
2015 World Games in Los Angeles were
victorious - whether it was scoring a
personal best, taking home a medal or
meeting new friends from all corners of
the globe.
After the 2015 Special Olympics World

Law Enforcement
Torch Run
The Law Enforcement Torch Run ®
(LETR) is a year-round fundraising and
awareness building program, designed to
allow members of the law enforcement
community the opportunity to support
Special Olympics athletes who live, work
and compete in their local communities.
In Massachusetts, the LETR ran 40 events
in 35 communities in 2015, raising over
$550,000 and increasing local awareness of
Special Olympics programs in communities
across Massachusetts.
125 cities, 13 days, 1 flame of hope. Officer
Kristine Crosman of the North Attleboro
Police Department had the honor of
representing Massachusetts in the Final Leg of
the Law Enforcement Torch Run (LETR) at this
year’s Special Olympics World Games in Los
Angeles.
On May 26, the Flame of Hope began its
journey across America in the first ever
Unified Relay. Upon reaching California, the
flame was passed to the LETR Final Leg Team. For 13 days they carried the torch all over
the state of California to honor the hope,
opportunity and community that Special
Olympics fosters for athletes all across the
globe.
For Officer Crosman, the run had an even
deeper significance, as she honored her
daughter Kailyn, who was a Special Olympics
athlete. Kailyn was 9 years old when she
passed away in April of 2014.
said.
Crosman was inspired by the image in her
mind of her daughter Kailyn running, “in those
hot pink sneakers she loved to wear.” She
trained 4-5 days a week, and despite being
side tracked by a knee injury, she went on to
run for 13 days straight with the Final Leg.
In the spring of 2012 at the Attleboro School
Day Games, Crosman watched Kailyn do all
the things that “she

of a lifetime,” she said.
It was this moment that made Crosman realize
the impact that Special Olympics could have
on the lives of athletes. Since then, she and
her husband, Mansfield Police Sgt. Larry
Crosman, have actively volunteered and
planned numerous events. They also both
hold positions on the LETR board.
The Torch Run, however, is on an entirely
different level than the local cook off. Crosman does not know why she was chosen,
“especially since I really do not like to run,” she
joked.
“I would like to think that the powers that be
in Special Olympics and LETR saw something
in me that I did not initially see in myself,” she
Crosman ran with 73 other Law Enforcement
Officers and 10 Special Olympics Athletes. The Special Olympics World Games began on
July 25 and concluded on August 2, 2015
