Team IMPACT matches children facing serious illness and disability with college athletic teams, creating meaningful relationships that help kids feel like part of something bigger. Your child gets adopted by an entire college sports team for a two-year program that gives them teammates, access to practices and games, and the chance to feel like a regular kid again instead of just a patient.
The program connects families with local college teams where kids can attend games, meet with players, and build genuine friendships that last beyond treatment. Teams fully embrace the whole family, giving parents and siblings a supportive community too. Healthcare providers refer families because they see how these relationships boost kids' confidence, social skills, and positive mindset during the hardest parts of their journey.
