Building Bridges, Building Futures Capital Campaign 2025
The Initiative knows the power of sport to motivate, to inspire, and to heal. In honor of our 5th anniversary, we are raising the bar higher to ensure The Initiative programming can help more individuals with physical challenges across the world, in any sport, at every level, to achieve the impossible; in sports and beyond. The Building Bridges, Building Futures Campaign has a goal of securing $12 million in funding to support four key initiatives. Success of this campaign will allow The Initiative to impact thousands of more lives, change the norms around sports inclusivity and secure our future.
