Challenged Athletes Foundation

The Challenged Athletes Foundation (CAF) provides opportunities and support to people with physical disabilities so they can pursue active lifestyles through physical fitness and competitive athletics. With the belief that involvement in sports at any level increases self-esteem, encourages independence and enhances quality of life for the physically challenged, CAF provides grants for training, competition and equipment.

team work

In parallel with the Olympics, the Paralympic Games host elite athletes with physical or visual disabilities who compete with the same passion and strength as their Olympic counterparts. Paralympians achieve near-Olympic results, but with far less fanfare and financial support.

To address that inequality, OlympicsOrBust has teamed up with CAF to raise awareness and the funds needed to provide a prosthetic to a Paralympics hopeful, giving them the opportunity to go for the gold like their Olympic peers.
