Meet the 2024 Hall of Fame Class: The Oates Family

June 25, 2024

The Oates family embodies a deep commitment to Special Olympics Massachusetts, driven by their beloved son and brother, Justin, and his journey as an athlete. From early involvement and enthusiastic support at track meets, to their father Paul's dedication to inclusion and advocacy, the Oates’ family bond has only strengthened over the years. Paul's nurturing spirit lives on in each of his family member's dedication to supporting the Special Olympics community.  

The Oates family’s collective efforts have not only united them but also left an undeniable mark on Special Olympics MA, culminating in their well-deserved induction into the Hall of Fame —an honor that Paul would undoubtedly celebrate with immense pride and joy. Congratulations to the entire Oates Family on being inducted into the Special Olympics Massachusetts Hall of Fame!
