DEERFIELD BEACH, FL – MAPEI Corporation is proud to announce its sponsorship of Special Olympics Florida’s “Court of Dreams” Tennis and Pickleball Pro-Am, which is taking place in Spring 2026 in Delray Beach, FL. The premier event brings together athletes, community members and corporate partners to celebrate inclusion, sportsmanship and the transformative power of sport.

Hosted at the Delray Beach Tennis Center, the “Court of Dreams” Pro-Am unites professional and amateur players in support of more than 80,000 Special Olympics Florida athletes. The event culminates in an evening of camaraderie and celebration, reinforcing a shared commitment to empowering individuals with intellectual disabilities through year-round sports, health and leadership programs.

“MAPEI is deeply honored to support the mission of Special Olympics Florida,” said Luigi Di Geso, President and CEO of MAPEI Corporation. “The ‘Court of Dreams’ embodies values we hold dear – teamwork, perseverance and inclusion. We are proud to stand beside an organization that opens doors and builds confidence through sport.”

“We are thrilled to partner with MAPEI Corporation on the ‘Court of Dreams’ Tennis and Pickleball Pro-Am,” said Special Olympics Florida President and CEO Sherry Wheelock. “I am incredibly grateful to the leadership at MAPEI for demonstrating their commitment to our athletes and our mission. With MAPEI’s support, the Pro-Am is going to be a spectacular event.”

The multi-day celebration will feature community gatherings at the Opal Grand Delray Beach and competitive play at the Delray Beach Tennis Center, creating a dynamic blend of philanthropy and fun. MAPEI’s sponsorship underscores the company’s ongoing dedication to giving back to the communities where it lives and works, particularly through initiatives that inspire personal growth and connection.

As a leading manufacturer of adhesives, sealants and chemical products for the building industry, MAPEI Corporation is committed not only to building stronger structures but also to helping build stronger communities. Supporting Special Olympics Florida’s “Court of Dreams” event reflects MAPEI’s belief that every individual deserves the opportunity to achieve their full potential – on and off the court.

Special Olympics Florida serves more than 80,000 athletes with intellectual disabilities statewide. The organization provides year-round sports training and competitions, crucial health screenings and life-changing leadership opportunities – all at no charge to its athletes or their families.
