The Special Olympics Fall Festival would not be made possible without the tremendous amount of support and generous donations from its volunteers and corporate sponsors. Donating to the Special Olympics Fall Festival is one of the best ways in which an individual or organization can show support for this outstanding cause. As the largest student-run Special Olympics event in the world sets its eyes on its 21st anniversary at Villanova University, it looks to people and corporations like you to help in making this Fall Festival the best one yet.

Founded by Eunice Kennedy Shriver with the intent of helping people with intellectual disabilities develop self-confidence, social skills and a sense of personal accomplishment, Special Olympics gives inspiration not only to those athletes who so valiantly compete, but also to those who give so generously of their time and money. Since 1979, Villanova University has committed itself to serving those with intellectual disabilities by adopting a Special Olympics program. Since 1989, Villanova and its dynamic, entirely student committee has hosted the ever-growing Fall Festival.
