Sponsorship Opportunities
Leave a lasting impact on our athletes, your business, and the community.
Special Olympics Delaware is changing the way people with intellectual disabilities are seen in the world. Help us move the needle towards a more inclusive community by becoming a partner or sponsor today.
Please note: Sponsorship opportunities for the 2026 event are now closed.
Local businesses are still welcome to offer a Bear Discount for 2026. Discount offers will be promoted online only and will not appear on the printed event map.
That said, there are still many ways for local businesses of any size to support one of the area’s largest events of the year in 2027:
- Sponsor one of the Weekend Festival events
- Provide a “Bear Discount” to your customers
- Host our Bears at your restaurant for the Chili Contest
- Provide your wings or ice cream for the Fire & Ice Festivities
All partnerships can be customized to align your business mission and goals with those of Special Olympics Delaware and the Lewes Polar Bear Plunge. We can provide unique, creative, and turn-key ways for your business to make an impact on the community.
