It’s a big GoFundMe campaign aimed at helping athletes.
The crowdfunding platform is collaborating with Special Olympics to help athletes get to the Special Olympics 2017 World Winter Games.
Special Olympics recently made the announcement on its official blog. This is the first time the organization has teamed up with GoFundMe for social fundraising.
The crowdfunding platform is launching nearly 500 campaigns for teams, delegations and athletes. Olympians like Apolo Ohno are also joining in the efforts.
The GoFundMe pages will feature personal stories of those competing.
Special Olympics says the donations will help with expenses for travel, training, equipment, coaching and accommodations. GoFundMe notes that 50 percent of donations will support local delegations, 25 percent will support Special Olympics International and 25 percent will support the Games Organizing Committee.
This year, the World Winter Games will be held in Austria March 14 through March 25.
