How Your Support Makes a Difference

Team IMPACT matches children facing serious illness and disabilities with college sports teams, creating a long term, life changing experience for everyone involved.

Our unique multiyear program signs children onto college athletic teams across the country, and based on a clinical model, ensures each has the personalized game plan they need to win –effectively building confidence and independence. Team IMPACT guides a symbolic relationship between teams and children facing life-altering diagnoses and chronic illness, focused on socialization, empowerment, and resilience. A program built on strength and camaraderie, Team IMPACT ensures kids develop socially and never feel alone. We truly believe in Getting All Kids in the Game.
