July 15th to 20th marks Special Olympics’ Global Week of Inclusion: a time to come together and celebrate ALL of our abilities. To honor the week, #AerieREAL Role Models Aly Raisman and Iskra joined us to welcome 7 Special Olympics athletes into the Aerie family for a full day of #AerieREAL. We spent a day in our photo studio with the athletes to capture their amazing spirits through a photoshoot and video.
Special Olympics is a non-profit that supports athletes with intellectual disabilities and helps them discover new strengths and abilities, skills and success through the power of sports. Learn more about the organization here. If you want to make a donation to Special Olympics, you can also visit any Aerie store all month to help support the non-profit.
Meet the athletes!

I have a daughter named Caroline Odette and she’s on the autism spectrum. People can be so cruel to her and she’s just a child. At only 7 years old I am stunned that so many adults can be so deplorable towards her. Thank you for showing everyone that people with disabilities are just as worthy of love and kindness as anyone else. Thank you for showing everyone that anyone, no matter their disability, can accomplish whatever they set their mind to! Equality for all!
Thank you guys for this inclusive ad! My daughter Harmoni was diagnosed with Trisomy 21 hours after birth. And still, she is the epitome of perfection bringing joy and happiness to anyone who crosses her path.
