Mission

The PA Olympics has become a renowned cross-cultural event for PA students, faculty, alumni, and guests of local Philadelphia Physician Assistant Programs. The event affords participants to come together and work collectively in service to raise awareness of a community-based organization.

The goal of the event is to unite the leadership and service engagement talents of PA faculty and students from local PA programs to raise funds for a designated local charity each year. 

2025 PA Olympics

This year, 10 PA programs from the Greater Philadelphia region will come together to support Special Olympics Pennsylvania. Their mission is provide children and adults with intellectual disabilities year-round sports training and competition in many different Olympic-type sports. They also provide a place for them to experience joy, share gifts, skills, and friendships, and develop their physical fitness. All of this is done at no charge to the athletes or their families. They have Athlete Leadership Programs to help develop leadership and create change. Through their Healthy Athletes initiative program they provide free health screenings for athletes as well. The Special Olympics truly creates something special for the athletes and their community.
