Is this the case? If it isn't, you'll need to reword. A couple of small concerns: 1. It seems more logical to structure your paper by explaining benefits before talking about growth (after all, it's sort of cause and effect, isn't it?). 2. The wording of "The history...has shown..." is a bit odd. Also, is it the history that has proven "that individuals..."? You might want to reword for clarity.

Home About Us Sports News ... Jobs History History of Special Olympics Eunice Kennedy Shriver started the concept of Special Olympics in 1963 as a daycamp for people with intellectual disabilities to provide them with the therapeutic effects of physical fitness and sports. In 1968 she organized the first International Special Olympics Games, in which 1,000 athletes from the U.S., Canada and France competed. That year, Special Olympics was founded as a nonprofit organization. The first Annual Western Regional Special Olympics was held on July 26, 1969 at the Los Angeles Memorial Coliseum. A total of nine hundred athletes from Arizona, California, Colorado, Hawaii, New Mexico, Nevada and Utah participated in the softball throw, the 50 and 300-yard dash and 25 and 50-yard swim. With the success of this event, each western state began to formulate plans to organize its own chapter program. And in the following years, the program was expanded to include opportunities for training, a multi-level competition structure and year-round programming. In an historic move on July 1, 1995, California Special Olympics was divided into two separately incorporated Chapters, Special Olympics Southern California. Inc. and Special Olympics Northern California, Inc. This division was a first in the history of the Special Olympics movement. The change afforded each new California Chapter a dramatic opportunity to greatly expand outreach efforts. The new Southern California Chapter is bounded by San Luis Obispo, Kern and Inyo Counties in the north, and the state
