Here at Burien Toyota, we are proud to be a part of the Toyota family that sponsors the Special Olympics! With more than 4,000 athletes, 10,000 volunteers, and an amazing spirit, we know the Special Olympics will truly bring something inspiring to Husky Stadium and all of Seattle.
"The 2018 Special Olympics USA Games will showcase the abilities of athletes with intellectual disabilities, promote the ideals of acceptance and inclusion through sport, and celebrate the transformative power of Special Olympics," said Beth Knox, President and CEO of the 2018 Special Olympics USA Games.
Toyota has been a sponsor of regional Special Olympics programs for more than 30 years, but became a global partner in 2017.
Toyota President Akio Toyoda said: “We would like to thank everyone involved in Special Olympics, including Chairman Timothy Shriver, for accepting Toyota as a Global Partner. From my own experience playing sports in my school days, I believe in the power of sports where people with various characters can come together and compete for the same goal. This leads to creating a society where people have respect for each other. Unified Sports further achieves this goal. The Toyota members who are involved in Special Olympics all love and believe in sports. Working together with the athletes, we would like to contribute to building recognition of the appeal of Special Olympics to as many people as possible."
