CardioFlex Therapy physical and occupational therapists are thrilled to participate in the upcoming Bowling Competition to benefit the Special Olympics of Florida. Special Olympics Florida’s year-round programs in health, education, community building and sports address inactivity, injustice, intolerance and social isolation by encouraging and empowering people with intellectual disabilities.

By participating in this and other events, you are helping reach and support more people who want to be a part of life changing programs.

Join us at this fun event and support our local Special Olympics of Florida.
Special Olympics and over 5 million athletes are leading the charge for full inclusion of people with intellectual disabilities. For 50 years, we have have been building a movement to break down barriers – both on and off the field in health and education – all through the power of sport. As we celebrate our 50th Anniversary, we launch a 5-year campaign to inspire action and ultimately end discrimination for people with intellectual disabilities. The Revolution Is Inclusion.
The movement is rooted in the spirit of our founder, Eunice Kennedy Shriver, who took a rebellious stand against the injustices faced by people with intellectual disabilities in 1968. Today, the fight for inclusion is more relevant than ever. People of all ages, races, genders, cultures, backgrounds, and abilities continue to face discrimination, ignorance, and disparagement. Just as Eunice Kennedy Shriver did 50 years ago, Special Olympics is setting a stake in the ground to create change, and this time, our athletes are leading the way.
As we continue this movement, Special Olympics will build programming and actively engage people in our movement to create social change.
