The Northern California Olympians

More than 400 Olympians and Paralympians from past and present Olympic Teams who live and work in Northern California draw upon their athletic experiences to inspire and pass on Olympic ideals to our communities and to enrich the lives of the youth of Northern California.

The Northern California Olympians (NCO) help fund the dreams of future Olympians, coordinate member appearances at youth, community and corporate events, offer fellowship to members of past and current Olympic teams, and support the creation of an active, visible worldwide Olympian organization.

The NCO holds bi-monthly board meetings, produces a quarterly newsletter, stages a Welcome Home Dinner for Olympians after each summer Olympic Games, co-hosts an annual celebrity golf tournament with BASOC (the Bay Area Sports Organizing Committee), and provides grants to Olympic hopefuls.
