NATIONAL Team IMPACT for Kids with Chronic Illness

Team IMPACT was founded by a group of Boston based colleagues, fellow alums and like minded individuals in April of 2011. Together this group helped fund and devise a team of individuals that focuses on improving the quality of life for children facing life threatening illnesses. In our first complete year we have expanded to a staff of 3 full time employees and had close to 3500 programrticipants (children, coaches and student-athletes). Our organization held our first Game Day Gala fundraiser in October which helped us raise funds that will allow us to increase capacity and outreach efforts.

TEAM IMPACT IS A NATIONAL NONPROFIT THAT CONNECTS CHILDREN FACING SERIOUS AND CHRONIC ILLNESSES WITH COLLEGE ATHLETIC TEAMS, FORMING LIFE-LONG BONDS AND LIFE-CHANGING OUTCOMES.

At Team IMPACT, we create a network of support for children; a group that is in their corner to support and encourage them during their highs and lows.

Our program is driven by dedicated Relationship Managers — staff members who ensure the best matches for children and team, consistently monitor relationships and offer guidance and support — ultimately helping kids and students building meaningful relationships that have life-long, positive effects.

Children are officially drafted to the team, and from there, become full-fledged members, attending practices, games, team dinners, events and more.
