Special Olympics athletes also sought help from Congress members in efforts to grow
Unified Champion Schools programming and end discrimination against individuals with

Education, who demonstrated her commitment to partnering with the Special Olympics to
make schools more inclusive and grow Unified Champion Schools programming.
