Give the gift of movement
At the Challenged Athletes Foundation, we believe sport has the power to change lives. For over 30 years, CAF has supported thousands of athletes with physical disabilities, providing equipment, clinics, mentorship, and community they need to thrive.
This holiday season, we’re sharing powerful stories that show how movement connects us. From mentorship in the surf to coaching on the water, these athlete journeys reflect what happens when opportunity meets community. Together, we create lasting impact for athletes of all ages and abilities.
JJ Reeder, a young shark attack survivor, found confidence through mentorship from surfer and fellow shark attack survivor Mike Coots. Their bond shows how guidance and community can turn fear into possibility.
After a spinal cord injury, Heidi found new purpose through CAF Idaho and now coaches other athletes. At a wakesurfing clinic, she guided Brooklyn through her first session—sparking confidence and connection on the water.
After a spinal cord injury, Mack found purpose through wheelchair basketball. Now he mentors Myke, building a bond through shared experience and support.
Each gift creates another story of movement and mentorship. Because of you, more athletes are discovering their strength and shaping what’s possible. See your impact in action.
Every gift fuels access to adaptive equipment, inclusive sports programs, and mentorship that transforms what’s possible for athletes with physical disabilities. Join us in creating a future where everyone belongs in sport.
