 Special
Olympics is an international nonprofit organization
dedicated to empowering individuals with intellectual
disabilities to become physically fit, productive
and respected members of society through sports
training and competition. Special Olympics
Pennsylvania provides year-round training and
competition in 23 Olympic-type sports to more
than 18,000 children and adults with intellectual
disabilities.
Pat Croce has been involved with the Special Olympics organization for over 30 years. He was just recently their keynote speaker in May at their 12th Hall of Fame Event,
along with special guests Dick Vermeil and Vince
Papale, as they induct volunteers and athletes
into the Hall of Fame. Induction into Special
Olympics Pennsylvania’s Hall of Fame is
the highest honor available to a volunteer or
athlete and gives individuals the recognition
they deserve as personalities whose athletic feats
are every bit as impressive as those of other
world-class athletes and should be lauded as such.
