Special Olympics Michigan, Gun Lake Casino, and the Gun Lake Tribe have announced a new state-wide partnership. The partnership includes a $2.5 million sponsorship agreement from Gun Lake Casino and Gun Lake Tribe to support the Unified Sports & Inclusion Center in Grand Rapids.

The Unified Sports & Inclusion Center is the largest Special Olympics training facility in the world. It is also the premiere facility for all Special Olympics Michigan athletes to train and compete.

The goal of the sponsorship is to allow Special Olympics Michigan to better serve those with intellectual disabilities throughout Michigan, by enhancing overall sports competition, expanding critical health and wellness initiatives, and growing athlete leadership programs that teach athletes how to translate success in sports to success in life.
