Celebration of Heart Gala

CAF celebrates the spirit of resilience and community at its annual Celebration of Heart Gala on Friday, April 17, at the stunning Pier 27 in San Francisco.
Celebration of Heart Gala

At the Challenged Athletes Foundation, Power in Motion reflects what happens when access, support, and purpose come together. Through sport, athletes with physical disabilities gain confidence, independence, and connection that reach far beyond the field of play.

This year’s Celebration of Heart Gala in San Francisco brings our community together to honor the athletes, supporters, and partners who help move lives forward. It is an evening that celebrates resilience, shared belief, and the momentum created when people come together around a common purpose.
