Current opt-out methods for Special Olympics Northern California mail

  1. Email request

    Use the Email option on this page and ask Special Olympics Northern California to stop promotional postal mail. Include the full name and mailing address you want removed. Copy the template below, fill the bracketed fields, and attach a photo of the mailer if you have one.

    If sending your opt-out request by email, use this helpful template for Special Olympics Northern California:

    Hello,
    
    I'm writing to request that Special Olympics Northern California permanently remove my address from all direct mail lists, including your internal house list and any rented or third-party lists used to source your mailings.
    
    The name and address to remove as they appear on a recently delivered unwanted mailer:
    
    [NAME]
    [ADDRESS]
    [CITY ST ZIP]
    
    A few notes for your direct mail team:
    
    • I have never subscribed to marketing communications from Special Olympics Northern California.
    • Since I haven't opted in with you directly, the source is most likely a rented or co-op list. Please also flag this address with your list partners so it's suppressed at the source.
    
    Please confirm in writing once the suppression is complete. I've attached an image of the mailer for reference.
    
    Thank you,
    [NAME]

    Replace the bracketed fields ([NAME], [ADDRESS], [CITY ST ZIP]) before sending. Attach a photo of the mailer if you have one, and keep the reply for your records.

  2. PaperKarma app

    Photograph the Special Olympics Northern California appeal. PaperKarma files the opt-out for you.

    Once you opt out of this sender, you can opt out of 100,000+ other mailers in the same app.

  3. Phone

    Call Special Olympics Northern California at +1-925-944-8801. Ask them to stop fundraising mail for the name and address on the mailer.

    A phone request can take 5 to 10 minutes or longer, depending on the phone tree, hold time, and whether they offer a callback.

What to Expect After Opting Out

  • Allow 8 to 12 weeks. Print runs are scheduled in advance. An appeal already labeled can still arrive.
  • Receipts and registrations are separate. Stopping fundraising mail does not stop a donor receipt, athlete packet, or event signup you already made.
  • Other programs keep their own files. Special Olympics Inc. or another accredited program in that name is a separate request.

Why Do You Receive Special Olympics Northern California Mail?

Special Olympics Northern California is a Pleasant Hill 501(c)(3) chapter of the global Special Olympics family. The chapter opened in 1995. Headquarters sit at 3480 Buskirk Avenue. They run free year-round training and meets in 11 sports, plus Unified Champion Schools, health screenings, and athlete leadership, and they count 32,000 athletes, 10,900 Unified partners, 25,000 volunteers, and 664 schools. President and CEO David Solo leads the staff. They may share donor names and postal addresses with vendors who run the direct-mail program. The leftover mail is a fundraising appeal, not a registration packet.

You get that mail if you donated, volunteered, have an athlete in the family, or landed on a file they use. Special Olympics Inc. and other accredited programs keep their own lists. The leftover appeal is often a Polar Plunge or golf dinner after you already gave.

How to Prevent General Junk Mail Proactively

  1. DMAchoice

    DMAchoice is the Association of National Advertisers' mail preference service. An $8 registration asks about 1,100 participating national companies to suppress your address from prospect promotional mail for 10 years. It does not cover local mailers, charity appeals, companies you already buy from, or occupant / current-resident saturation mail. Allow 90 days or longer.

    NOTE: DMAchoice will not stop mail from Special Olympics Northern California as it is not an active member of the ANA.

  2. OptOutPrescreen

    OptOutPrescreen is the official Consumer Credit Reporting Industry site. It lets you opt out of firm offers of credit and insurance for 5 years or permanently.

    NOTE: OptOutPrescreen will not opt you out of Special Olympics Northern California mail. It only covers prescreened credit card and insurance offers.

  3. PaperKarma

    For local and regional mailers, coupon packs, charity donation requests, and the large share of junk mail that DMAchoice does not cover, the PaperKarma app has the largest U.S. registry, with over 100,000 mailers on file.

Your Data Privacy Rights (CCPA & Beyond)

A promotional opt-out stops Special Olympics Northern California marketing mail. It does not always stop the underlying address from being shared. If you live in a state with an active consumer privacy law (California’s CCPA and several others), you can request access to or deletion of your personal information, and you can opt out of sale, share, or targeted advertising.

Go to the SONC Privacy Policy page, or the Contact Us page, or call +1-925-944-8801, and ask for a deletion or do-not-share request, and to opt out of fundraising mail.

Frequently asked questions

How long until Special Olympics Northern California mail stops?

Allow 8 to 12 weeks. Print runs are scheduled in advance. If an appeal arrives during that window, it was likely already printed and labeled before your request was processed. Donor receipts and athlete registration mail can still arrive.

How do I stop Special Olympics Northern California mail for a previous resident?

Call Special Olympics Northern California at +1-925-944-8801 and include that person’s name and this address, or use the PaperKarma app to scan the mailer, mark the recipient as a previous resident, and submit the opt-out. Do not mark the person as deceased unless they are deceased.

Will Special Olympics Northern California mail stop if I move?

Not automatically. Marketing lists are tied to a specific name and address. A USPS forward can send a few more packets to the new address. Call again for the new address, or use the PaperKarma app there.
