Senator Rick Scott said, “Ann and I are so honored to support Special Olympics Florida and the Race for Inclusion. The impact of Special Olympics Florida is far-reaching and life-changing to thousands in our state, providing opportunities for every Floridian to follow their dreams and succeed. This great organization holds a special place in our hearts and the hearts of so many, and we’re so proud to support it.” Special Olympics Florida President and CEO Sherry Wheelock said, “We are profoundly grateful to Senator Scott and Mrs. Scott for their support of the Race for Inclusion and our incredible athletes. Their generosity helps us serve more than 75,000 athletes across Florida and furthers our mission of ensuring that people with intellectual disabilities are treated with respect and given the opportunities to succeed that everyone deserves.” ### | 1 | 2026-03-30T01:40:41Z | 2026-03-30T11:08:25Z |
