Spread the Word: Inclusion is a global campaign to promote inclusion and acceptance of individuals with intellectual and developmental disabilities and eliminate the use of the hurtful, derogatory "R" word. Every year, the national day of awareness to kick off the campaign is the first Wednesday in March. This year it is on Wednesday, March 3, 2021. Events can occur on or beyond that date in March.

This year, Special Olympics Delaware has created a shirt to celebrate Spread the Word Day. The shirt can be purchased at this link.
