A former Martindale Hubbell-rated attorney, William Seegmiller possesses over 35 years experience in representing individuals who had been injured in accidents. Beyond his professional pursuits, William Seegmiller is a passionate philanthropist who regularly donates to Special Olympics.
Founded by Eunice Kennedy in 1968, Special Olympics aims to inspire and empower individuals with intellectual disabilities through sports as well as health and education programming. One of the ways in which it empowers those individuals is through its Unified Champion Schools program, which partners students with and without intellectual disabilities in an effort to end discrimination and promote inclusion.
In January, along with Hasbro, Special Olympics awarded 10 students with the BE FEARLESS BE KIND award for going above and beyond in that regard. The winners were students in grades 5 to 9 from schools in Wyoming, North Carolina, and Michigan, among other states. Nominated by teachers or coaches, they earned $1,000 to support Special Olympics programming in their respective schools. Among other inclusive actions, the winning students encouraged peers to participate in Special Olympics Unified Sports, assisted students with intellectual disabilities during class, and established programs such as the R-word campaign.
