Support the Athletes that Inspire Us
At Uber, we’re committed to fostering independence and connecting you to places and possibilities. We’ve partnered with Special Olympics Texas in conjunction with their Winter Games to support the athletes who inspire us and help them continue to live independent lives.
Athletes from across the state have been training for weeks to compete in bowling, powerlifting, and volleyball. In addition, special events such as Opening Ceremonies, Athlete Village, Victory Dance, Closing Ceremonies, and various clinics and demonstrations will round out the experience for those in attendance.
February 4th – February 7th we’re giving riders the opportunity to show their support as well. You can make every trip an opportunity to support Special Olympics athletes who are reaching for their dreams.
Every time you ride INSPIRE, we’ll donate $1 to Special Olympics Athletes
HOW DOES IT WORK?
- Request INSPIRE between February 4th and February 7th in Austin
- Ride and you’ll be charged uberX rates
- We’ll make a $1 donation to our friends at Special Olympics Texas for every INSPIRE trip
The rides you take on INSPIRE will support Special Olympics Texas athletes who embody the spirit of independence that we work to support every day. Last summer, we launched UberACCESS which allows those who need an extra hand or even a wheelchair accessible vehicle in Austin to request a ride at the tap of a button 24 hours a day!

We’re all going somewhere and reaching for something. We’re proud to support the athletes of Special Olympics Texas who inspire us to do more and reach higher every day. If you’re inspired to go the extra mile, you can contribute directly to Special Olympics Texas.
Uber will donate $1 for each ride completed using the “Inspire” vehicle option to Special Olympics Texas up to a combined total of $25,000.
