Mari Cox
Event Manager
Mari, with her Public Relations degree from Capital University, brings a wealth of personal and professional experience to DSACO. Her background includes crafting impactful initiatives across various settings—professional and non-profit organizations, as well as elementary, secondary, and postsecondary education.
Most recently, Mari worked as the program coordinator for Special Olympics Ohio, where she closely collaborated with TOPS students and elite athletes at The Ohio State University. She is also well-known online as “Caden’s Mom,” in reference to her son Caden, who made history as the first individual born with Down syndrome to play and score in a college football game. Mari has been a fervent advocate for inclusion throughout Caden’s life, promoting accessibility and opportunities in academics, extracurricular activities, community involvement, and life skills.
In addition to her advocacy work, Mari is a proud mom to Zane, a strength and conditioning D-1 College Football Coach, and Caden, who is currently a student intern with the Ohio State football strength and conditioning coaching staff.
