Each year, we are proud to build upon and deepen the previous years’ impact! Please take a look at our impact reports from 2021 and 2022 below. Please note that in 2023, we decided to adjust the cadence of our impact reporting and focus on the academic year due to the nature of our school-based programs like CHAMPS and AFH University. The reports below are reflective of the calendar years.
For two decades, Athletes for Hope has shown what’s possible when athletes lead with purpose. With the guidance of our staff and leadership, we’re just getting started.
