Explanation:

Eunice Kennedy Shriver started a day camp for children with disabilities. This camp evolved into the Special Olympics, an annual international competition. President Kennedy (Option 2) was not involved in creating the Special Olympics organization. Dorothea Dix (Option 3) was active in the 19th - century mental health reform, not related to the Special Olympics. Franklin Delano Roosevelt's March of Dimes (Option 4) is a different organization focused on preventing birth defects and premature birth, not the Special Olympics.

Eunice Kennedy Shriver created a day camp for children with disabilities, which grew into an annual international competition.
