The distribution center will not only benefit those with intellectual disabilities, but it will empower all youth regardless of their socioeconomic backgrounds. The center will allow inner city schools and organizations, who lack the resources needed for inclusive sports programs, the ability to use SOAZ’s sports equipment with the requirement that the programs include a character building and inclusion component.

Special Olympics Arizona (SOAZ) has been awarded a $1 million grant from Thunderbird Charities for the development of its new State Office and Distribution Center, which will break ground this spring.

The new distribution center will increase the amount of equipment and training supplies for athletes, which will ultimately allow the organization to reach more individuals with disabilities throughout Arizona by creating more active teams and competitions.

The building will help meet the increased demand for SOAZ’s programs while serving as a home, distribution, uniform production and equipment center and an efficient facility for youth and inclusive sports in Arizona.
