Athletes and Unified Champion Schools from all over the state joined together in Austin on March 5, 2025 at the Texas State Capitol to serve as advocates and visit with lawmakers and their staff about the importance of Special Olympics programs.
We specifically highlighted the importance of Unified Champion Schools as well as Healthy Athletes. You can see a video by clicking the button below that shows Special Olympics Texas being recognized on the Senate floor!

A Spotlight On UCS!
Each month, an athlete, coach, team, or group will continue to be highlighted for the incredible work that they do on and off the field for UCS and for Special Olympics Texas.
This month, we're shining the spotlight on Anthony Ruttenburg, M.Ed., the UCS Advisor at Plano East Senior High School!
