Since it was founded in 1997, the Challenged Athletes Foundation has assisted, supported, and provided opportunity to people with physical challenges so that they can lead active lifestyles and compete in athletic events. It is founded in the belief that involvement in sports at any level increases self-esteem, encourages independence and enhances quality of life. The Foundation does this by providing funding for training, competition, rehabilitation, and equipment for the challenged athletes.
