For the eight consecutive year, Athletic Lab will support local Special Olympics athletes in their quest for success in sports. Athletic Lab has provided training and facility access for the athletes of Special Olympics North Carolina (SONC) as well as fund raised for the organization. This year, Athletic Lab is hosting virtual training sessions for SONC. In the first of these sessions, almost 500 SONC athletes attended.

The mission of Special Olympics is to provide year-round sports training and athletic competition in a variety of Olympic-type sports for children and adults with intellectual disabilities, giving them continuing opportunities to develop physical fitness, demonstrate courage, experience joy and participate in a sharing of gifts, skills and friendship with their families, other Special Olympics athletes and the community.
