"As we move into the 12th year of fielding a Rapids Unified team in conjunction with the Rapids, Special Olympics Colorado has seen the immense value of this partnership. The opportunity to compete on the first team pitch, wear the first team kits and more importantly make lifelong friends, all while competing in the sport they love, has been tremendous for our athletes and partners alike. We hope to see the fans pack the stadium for our Rocky Mountain Cup match and cheer on a team that has worked hard to kick off the season strong."

"The Colorado Rapids are proud to stand alongside Special Olympics Colorado in championing inclusion, opportunity, and the incredible spirit of every athlete.
