Heroes, Heart, & Hope Gala
True strength lies not just in individual achievement, but in the collective power of a supportive, inclusive community. At the Challenged Athletes Foundation (CAF), we believe in the importance of mentorship, where seasoned athletes guide and inspire newcomers, share wisdom and encouragement. We celebrate how, by lifting each other up, athletes with physical disabilities can break barriers, defy expectations, and show the world what’s possible when we unite as one.
Partner Events
CAF collaborates with partners, sponsors, and other organizations to organize events that raise awareness, funds, and provides resources for athletes with physical disabilities.
