COVID-19 Policy: 

The purpose of Special Olympics South Carolina is to provide opportunities for the awesome athletes we serve.  As an organization we always have the safety and health of our participants in mind.  COVID-19 has added a new dimension to emphasis.  We have adapted to minimize the risk of virus transmission. The gala, which provides a celebration of our athletes, is no exception.

Our population is considered vulnerable and high risk.  People with intellectual disabilities are 6 times more likely to die from COVID-19.  It is our responsibility to create a safe environment for our athletes and their families.

Because we have athlete participation in these events, the best way to ensure the protection of all Gala attendees is to require:

• proof of vaccination or a negative test within 72 hours of event 
  OR
• a medical excuse (i.e. positive covid diagnosis in the past 90 days, medically unable to receive vaccine). 

A digital photocopy of any will be accepted.  We trust everyone will agree with the decision to put the best interest of our athletes, their health and safety at the top of the list.  Also please note that the venue is currently subject to the City of Columbia mask mandate.  Thank you for your understanding and your continued support of our incredible athletes, coaches, families, volunteers and organization.
