Make a difference with Special Olympics Wisconsin this June

The University of Wisconsin-Whitewater and Special Olympics Wisconsin continue preparations for the 2025 State Summer Games on June 5-7 in Whitewater.

More than 1,200 athletes, representing 100 programs around the state, are set to compete in athletics (track and field), cornhole, powerlifting, soccer, and tennis. Events will be held at UW-Whitewater’s athletic facilities – Perkins Stadium, Rex Foster Track, the Warhawk Outdoor Tennis Complex, the Williams Center, and the campus intramural fields.

With more than a dozen events and competitions scheduled over the course of the three days, approximately 300 more volunteers are needed for multiple roles throughout the weekend. All volunteers will receive a free T-shirt and the opportunity to engage with participants, fans, and event staff.

No prior experience is required to volunteer (unless otherwise designated). Volunteers aged 12 and under must be accompanied by a chaperone. Special Olympics Wisconsin will provide training before your shift start time.

The Parade of Athletes and Opening Ceremony kicks the event off on June 5 at 6:30 p.m. inside Perkins Stadium. Check out the full schedule of events here.
