When it comes to connecting children with challenges to the experience of team sports, Team Up For 1 Foundation (TU41) is in a league of its own.
Running strong on a ten year winning-streak of enhancing the quality of life for children- and their families- with developmental disabilities, chronic and life-threatening illnesses, TU41 continues to engage the sports world by matching children with challenges to teams from every competitive level – college, high school and professional. When connecting a child with an adopting team, the TU41 Adoption Committee considers the following: Proximity to school, communication skills, mobility, favorite sports, and any additional details about the child’s challenges and personality. Once a match has been made, TU41 arranges a Meet and Greet, where the child meets the coach while interacting with some athletes of the adopting team.
