Defying Limits Gala

At Defying Limits, we celebrated movement, courage, and community. Thank you for joining us in Los Angeles on February 7, 2026 to stand with athletes who turn challenges into possibility—and help power a future where every person can move freely.

Together, We Move

At the Challenged Athletes Foundation, we believe in movement, not just forward, but beyond. Beyond limitations. Beyond expectations. Toward something greater. This is what it means to Defy Limits, to rise above barriers and show the world what’s possible. Los Angeles, a city defined by its generosity and spirit, is the perfect stage for this vision to come alive.

When we move together, we redefine what’s possible and move toward a more inclusive tomorrow.
