Our Partners


CAF strives to connect and develop long-term relationships with corporate partners, private foundations and other funders who share our commitment to improving the lives of others through sports and physical fitness.

Because of you

The phrase “Challenge Accepted” is a mantra that resonates with many in the CAF community.  In saying yes to the rewarding challenge of partnering with CAF, you become part of our team. Together, we work to change lives, and perceptions, by empowering those with physical challenges through opportunities and hope. You become the reason that someone else comes alive through sport and physical activity.

CAF partners with organizations in a variety of creative ways; event sponsorships, program funding, corporate initiatives, content creation, brand and product partnerships.  When a corporate culture is ingrained with the CAF mission, everyone is impacted by the remarkable stories of hard work, strength and perseverance. It’s a motivating force to do more, be more, and give more.

Because of our dedicated partners, someone else gets to feel the power of a piece of equipment, the exhilaration of crossing a finish line and the unparalleled satisfaction of accomplishing the impossible.

Testimonials

The day after IRONMAN 70.3 Oceanside, 40 athletes including the race’s male champion Lionel Sanders and 6X IRONMAN World Champion Dave Scott volunteered for the IRONMAN Foundation 2017 Junior Seau Foundation Adaptive Youth Surf Clinic presented by Challenged Athletes Foundation. 20 children with physical challenges learned to paddle, surf and catch some waves. To meet the kids and their families, learn their stories and watch them conquer the surf without fear was a day that left us forever changed. The IRONMAN Foundation is honored to support the inspiring work of CAF and grateful for the opportunity to provide our IRONMAN athletes with a life-changing experience with these young heroes.
