SUPPORTING SPECIAL CAUSES

GO TO:  Team in Training      Challenged Athletes Foundation

 

In Support of The Challenged Athletes Foundation...

The Challenged Athletes Foundation (CAF) is a non-profit organization that provides opportunities and support to people with physical disabilities to pursue an active lifestyle through physical fitness and competitive athletics.  CAF believes that involvement in sports at any level increases self-esteem encourages independence and enhances quality of life. CAF provides support for families of children who are physically disabled.  They provide adapted equipment (i.e. bicycles/tricycles, hand cycles, updated prosthetics) that families would not normally be able to afford.  These supports allow our children who are challenged to be outside and play just like their brothers, sisters and peers. They also have a special support program for our war heros to help them find strength in a new way of living, after losing limbs in battle.
