Champions Committed to KIDS believes that a child and an
athlete can learn life lessons from one another. This organization was formed
with one purpose and that purpose is to take KIDS who are fighting chronic
illnesses and give them a chance to feel what it’s like to be part of an
athletic team. To know what it means to be a teammate, to have a feeling of
fellowship, and a chance to build lifelong friendships.
They hope that kids are inspired, learn to never quit or give
up, and are driven by passion. Additional
benefits allow the young athletes to be empowered by being part of a team, to
know that they are in the fight together, to have hope, and to share in
building character in sports and in life. Most of all these folks want the KIDS
to live the life of a CHAMPION!!
Champions Committed to KIDS works with children from the age
of 5 years up to 18 years old. KIDS become official teammates of the school
they are partnered with and develop a relationship with the athletes and
coaches. They give children and their families an opportunity to forget about
their illness and all of the medication, doctors visits and therapy they endure
and let them focus on something joyful, a feeling of hope.
