About Team IMPACT

Founded on May 8th 2011, Team IMPACT is a national nonprofit that tackles the emotional trauma and social isolation experienced by children facing serious and chronic illnesses by matching them with a college athletic team. Through our two-year therapeutic program, that complements a child’s medical treatments, children develop relationships and skills that help them complete the full circle of healing. 

Surrounded by a team of support, and guided by clinically trained case managers, children in our program live life beyond their illness, and experience measurable improvements in their sense of belonging, resilience, empowerment, health promotion and socialization. As one parent described her son, “On some of the very hard days when he has been crippled by pain, Caleb will see the team and forget about it. For that period of time, he's a 'normal' 5-year-old.” With your support we can help courageous kids, like Caleb, experience life in a way that previously seemed impossible. 


This year, Team IMPACT is excited to have several of our matched teams competing in bowl games on college football's biggest stage — and we knew they couldn't head into their most important game of the year without their bravest teammate. Regardless of who you're rooting for this bowl season, help make a difference by ensuring our Team IMPACT kids are there for their teammates when it matters most.

This year, we are sending six matches to bowl games across the country: 

Kayden - Northern Illinois, Cure Bowl

Dominick - Ball State, Camellia Bowl

Vinny's Family - Houston, Birmingham Bowl

Jeremiah - NC State, Holiday Bowl

Cal - Maryland, Pinstripe Bowl

Sawyer - Penn State, Outback Bowl

Larry - University of Michigan, Orange Bowl CFB Playoff Semi-Final


Donate and share to help make this college football season one our families and teams will never forget.
