Meet the Sponsors Powering the UNIFIED Special Needs Super Smash Grand Championship
At the UNIFIED Esports League, nothing we do happens alone.
Every UNIFIED Technology Center, every jersey ceremony, every healthy gamer workout, and every championship moment is made possible by the generous businesses and community partners who believe in our mission.
Sponsors are more than logos on a banner. They are the fuel behind opportunity. They help us provide safe, structured, and empowering environments where individuals with intellectual and developmental disabilities (IDD) can build friendships, grow their confidence, explore technology, and discover a true sense of belonging.
Because of our sponsors, families gain access to meaningful programs, clients gain access to supportive coaches and advanced technology, and our community grows stronger, more inclusive, and more connected.
Today, we’re honored to introduce and thank the incredible sponsors helping bring the UNIFIED Special Needs Super Smash Grand Championship to life.
World-First Celebration of Inclusive Esports
On February 21, 2026, the UNIFIED Esports League will host the world’s first special-needs-focused Super Smash Bros. championship at the beautiful Bornemann Theatre on the TERI Campus of Life in San Marcos, California.
This landmark event will bring together 24 finalists from UNIFIED teams across San Diego and Imperial Counties. These gamers have spent months practicing teamwork, sportsmanship, emotional regulation, and social skills through our structured program. Now, they’ll step onto a professional stage to celebrate their growth in front of families, friends, and the greater community.
This isn’t just a video game tournament.
It’s a celebration of courage, friendship, perseverance, and the power of inclusive technology.
