#StareAtGreatness

Citi arrived at a powerful insight in conversations with Team Citi Para athletes: you shouldn't stare at a person with a disability. But what if that person was a three-time gold medallist? Or a world-record holder? Would it be OK to stare then? Team Citi Para athletes inspired the “#StareAtGreatness” initiative, an award-winning campaign that highlights the talents and accomplishments of the disability community to help change perceptions of people with disabilities.

It Starts with Sport

To highlight and communicate the PARA SPORT brand narrative, Citi and PARA SPORT launched a new video series called “It Starts with Sport”, featuring leading Para athletes and how they first started their Para sport journey.
