Fundraising Events

 

Passion Plunge
In the cold of winter, more than 1,000 people from across the state come out and support SOMA by taking a quick dip into the icy water. Raising over $400,000 last year, this incredible fundraiser finds friends of SOMA “freezin’ for a reason” at Plunges in Cape Cod, Hull, Revere, and Worcester.

Ride with the Champions
Cyclists from all over the state gather at Topsfield Fairgrounds for a 12, 20 or 62 mile ride through the North Shore to benefit Special Olympics Massachusetts.  All proceeds raised help supply uniforms, equipment and competition more than 10,000 Special Olympics athletes across the state.

Jolly Jaunts
Festive holiday 5K Fun Runs held in seven locations statewide on the first weekend in December. More than 2,000 runners and walkers don their festive holiday running gear and costumes and raise money for SOMA programs.  Jaunt locations are Berkshires, Boston, Cape Cod, Danvers, Springfield, Taunton, and Worcester.

Host Your Own Event
Pay tribute to a family member, friend, or colleague who is a Special Olympics athlete. As a business leader, you will align your company with one of the most respected and visible charities in Massachusetts and will be making a significant contribution in support of individuals with intellectual disabilities.
