"If there's something you're passionate about, don "If there's something you're passionate about, don't be afraid to speak your mind." Garret Utz has turned his passion for soccer into leadership, serving as a soccer official at the 2026 @SpecialOlympicsUSAGames after years of competing as an athlete. Thank you, Garret, for helping make the Games an incredible experience for everyone!
What a run! The Games may be over, but we're still What a run! The Games may be over, but we're still celebrating moments like this. Congratulations to West Seattle High School Unified Basketball on an incredible tournament at the 2026 @SpecialOlympicsUSAGames!
One week wasn't enough to celebrate everything Tea One week wasn't enough to celebrate everything Team Washington accomplished! Congratulations to Kya on her bronze medal in the Unified 100M, Erynn on her silver medal in the Unified 100M, and Cindy on a 6th-place finish in the Unified 100M and a silver medal in the long jump! Way to represent Washington!
What an incredible week on the course! Congratula What an incredible week on the course! Congratulations to Mallory on winning gold in her golf division and James on earning bronze in his division at the 2026 @SpecialOlympicsUSAGames! You two are AMAZING.
The athletes may be heading home, but we’re still The athletes may be heading home, but we’re still celebrating all the incredible moments from the 2026 @specialolympicsusagames!   Our 4x100M relay team sprinted to the top of the podium and we couldn’t be more proud. What an incredible moment for these athletes and everyone who helped them get here!   A special thank you to @swirecocacolausa for helping make Team Washington’s journey possible. Your support gave our athletes the opportunity to compete, achieve their dreams, and create memories that will last a lifetime. Together, we’re celebrating the power of sport, inclusion, and community as America marks its 250th anniversary.   Video courtesy of @espn!
Unified Schools 2025-2026 Shoutout Series! As par Unified Schools 2025-2026 Shoutout Series! As part of our 2025-2026 Unified Champion Schools End-of-Year Participation Report, we asked schools one simple question: "Is there any school, Unified coach, liaison, educator, student leader, or supporter that stood out to you this year? Give them a shoutout below!" The response was incredible. Schools from across Washington took the opportunity to recognize the people who make inclusion happen every day. Coaches who create opportunities, educators who go above and beyond, student leaders who model inclusion, and supporters who help Unified programs thrive. Over the next four weeks, we'll be sharing many of the names submitted by their peers. While we couldn't highlight every story in a single post, we want to celebrate the individuals who were recognized for making a difference in their schools and communities. Thank you to everyone who helps create more inclusive school environments where all students can learn, lead, compete, and belong. Were you inspired by someone in your Unified program this year? Drop their name in the comments and help us continue the celebration! Let's celebrate the champions of inclusion!
Big dreams. Big moments. Big thanks to @SwireCocaC Big dreams. Big moments. Big thanks to @SwireCocaColaUSA for supporting Team Washington throughout the 2026 @specialolympicsUSAgames! As America celebrates 250 years, we’re celebrating the power of inclusion and we’re grateful to partners like Swire Coca-Cola who helped make this unforgettable experience possible.
