Special Olympics Georgia would like to thank our Premier State Sponsors: Publix, UPS, Marlow’s Tavern, and Winter Construction for their dedicated support and loyalty to our athletes. Special Olympics Georgia would also like to thank our Platinum State Sponsors: Coca-Cola and Knights of Columbus.
Special Olympics Georgia would also like to thank the Presenting Sponsors for the 2023 State Fall Games: Packaging Corporation of America (PCA), Berry Global, and Mingledorff’s, Inc. Without the dedication and support of these loyal sponsors, the 2023 State Fall Games would not be possible.
