Notes

The purpose of Catch a Rising Star (CRS) is to provide post-rehabilitation support and mentoring to individuals who have suffered a traumatic injury or been born with a congenital defect, resulting in a physical disability. The support consists of an introduction to sports activities and mentoring relationships.

Catch a Rising Star provides access to resources and clinics to people of all ages, athletic levels, and almost all physical challenges. Past CAF grant recipients and ambassadors of sport serve as the mentors and role models for the next wave of challenged athletes.

Eligibility:

Catch a Rising Star is for the physical challenge person who desires a balanced life of work, family, friends and fitness. Whether you desire to learn to ride a bike, handcycle, rock climb, swim, run, engage in winter sports, or compete in a triathlon, this program will provide you the opportunities, knowledge and confidence you need to pursue an athletic life.

CAF currently conducts clinics in California, New York, Chicago, Texas, and Florida with the intent of expanding the program every year.
