Our Mission
Create a nurturing environment for children with heart conditions by enabling them to play sports as part of a team.
Kids guiding kids with heart disease to play sports, despite their condition. Encouraging high school kids to take a leadership role in helping others to fulfill that dream of being a child with no limitations. We know we all have dreams and we want to help them realize some of those dreams, even if it’s just sitting with a team on the bench, running the bases for your team or just swinging a bat for the first time while your team cheers you.
Being part of a team allows kids to feel what it’s like to think of others, to think beyond their illness and feel as they are contributing to something bigger. It allows them the chance to be a child and to interact and engage with others their same age. It allows them to see that a game is much like life, plenty of ups and downs but it’s the people around you who help you through and celebrate with you.
