Why are the Medical Forms (Special Olympics Wisconsin release forms and the application for participation) necessary?
The Medical Release Forms are similar to those required for any other sports program. They provide for: • Necessary medical information, including a health history, health insurance information and emergency contacts, including physician, parent or guardian. • Secondary insurance coverage by Special Olympics, Inc. as a secondary policy. • Emergency medical treatment in the event that a parent or guardian cannot be reached. • A photo release allowing Special Olympics Wisconsin to use any photos or video of its athletes for marketing purposes.
