OUR MISSION
The L.I.O.N. Foundation is dedicated to improving the lives of children with neurological and physical disabilities. We do this by providing life-changing sports experiences, mentorship, and adaptive opportunities, while also supporting long-term advancements in neurological care, including innovative treatments such as stem cell research, and the development of inclusive adaptive sports and community facilities.
OUR VISION
A world where children with spina bifida have access to cutting-edge medical advancements, grow up confident in their abilities, and are surrounded by a strong, inclusive community that sees them for who they are, not what they lack.
HOW WE CREATE IMPACT
Sports create community, confidence, and lifelong lessons. Through the L.I.O.N. Sports Experience, we give kids with neurological and physical disabilities opportunities to experience the power of being part of a team.
Our programs include:
Game Day Experiences with local high school, college, and professional teams
Athlete Mentorship connecting participants with inspiring role models
Inclusive Adaptive Sports Camps designed for athletes of all abilities
Experiences: Building Belonging Through Sports
Many families face financial and logistical barriers when trying to access adaptive sports opportunities.
We support families by providing adaptive sports equipment that insurance often does not cover, helping kids access the tools they need to stay active and engaged in sports.
Because the opportunity to play, compete, and grow should never be limited by access to equipment or resources.
Access: Removing Barriers to Participation
Innovation: Investing in the Future
While we focus on creating meaningful opportunities today, we are equally committed to building a better future for individuals living with neurological conditions.
Our long-term vision includes:
Investing in neurological research, including innovative treatments such as stem cell therapy
Developing an inclusive adaptive sports and recreation complex designed specifically for individuals with physical and cognitive disabilities.
This future facility will provide a place where children and adults can train, connect, and build community in an environment built specifically for their needs.
