The Coca-Cola Company
For over 50 years, The Coca-Cola Company has served as the Founding Partner and Global Sponsor of Special Olympics, committed to creating a better shared future for people with intellectual disabilities. This enduring partnership has supported countless Special Olympics Programs, athletes, and events with financial and in-kind contributions, employee volunteering and awareness raising initiatives.
Coca-Cola’s partnership with Special Olympics has been built on a foundational belief in social inclusion and acceptance and recently announced an extension of the partnership until 2031. Earlier this year, Mary Davis, Chief Executive Officer of Special Olympics, remarked that “Coca-Cola has helped [Special Olympics] transform the lives of one of the most marginalized populations of people across the globe – those with intellectual disabilities. Coca-Cola has been an agent of change for inclusion in creating experiences and opportunities for our millions of athletes, coaches and volunteers, forever changing the way the world views inclusion.”
Together The Coca-Cola Company and Special Olympics will continue to create a lasting legacy of inclusion, respect and joy.
