It is the mission of the Challenged Athletes Foundation (CAF) to provide opportunities and support to people with physical disabilities so they can pursue active lifestyles through physical fitness and competitive athletics. The Challenged Athletes foundation believes
that involvement in sports at any level increases self-esteem, encourages independence, and enhances quality of life.
EMPOWERING LIVES THROUGH SPORT: High costs of adaptive sports equipment and lack of resources should not keep individuals with physical disabilities from being active.
