Champions Committed To KIDS
OUR MISSION
Imagine an organization created to help kids stricken with cancer or those who are battling diseases that offers hope and inspiration to both the kids and those helping them. In January 2010 “Champions Committed to KIDS” began operations with the objective of pairing ill children with local-area athletes to involve them in scholastic athletics.
OUR VISION
Both athlete and child will learn from and inspire each other, creating a greater feeling of purpose that will impact our community and develop future leaders. A sick child will have the chance to be a part of a s sports team and in return, the athletes will discover the benefits of helping others. OUR PARTNERS
Partnering with CoxHealth and St. John’s Hospital, school-age children with serious illnesses will be identified and interviewed to determine their favorite sports activities and then be assigned to an athletic program involved in those activities. Participating supporters include Missouri State University, Drury University, Evangel University, Baptist Bible College and fifteen local and area high schools. Professional teams such as the Springfield Cardinals and the Springfield Demize will also lend a hand. |
