Team IMPACT is a 2021 FOS "Best Employers in Sports" winner, a certified "Great Place to Work", and is currently ranked 100/100 in all of Charity Navigators currently available "Star rating". The only U.S. nonprofit that helps children with serious or chronic illness overcome acute social and emotional isolation by matching them with a college athletic team for inclusion and purpose. Our two-year clinically-based plan for each child completes the full circle of healing, and results in relationships and skills that last a lifetime. In the words of a participating mother, "This program has done what no medicine ever could, it has put a smile back on my boy's face, and laughter back into his life."
