Special Olympics USA Games Minnesota 2026

Special Olympics USA Games Minnesota 2026

We are hosting a very special Family Night Celebration, and each athlete will receive an "All Ball" — branded with the logos of MD5M, LCIF, LEOs, and Lions USA. This is more than just a ball — it is a symbol of unity, fun, and the spirit of inclusion we all believe in.

Our Multiple's role in this partnership

• Raise $350,000 to sponsor Family Night for 3,500 Olympians and their families
• Provide every athlete with A Ball for All, a goodwill gift specially designed for the athletes

How you can help

• Consider designating club or individual donations to LCIF's MD5M Special Olympics Fund
• Gifts still count towards Melvin Jones Fellowships (but not District or Community Grants)
• All donations, no matter what fund they go to, are greatly appreciated!

We are asking every club in MD5M to support this effort through a contribution to LCIF, earmarked for the 2026 Special Olympics Games in Minnesota. Any donation is a good donation!

Send all checks made out to LCIF to:

PDG Frank Leidenfrost 110 4th Ave NE Staples, MN 56479

or

IPDG Deb Bialke 5559 355th Ave Hillman, MN 56338
