FUN FOR ALL - Helpers, Inc.

FUN FOR ALL
Challenger is for boys and girls 4-30 years old, with physical, intellectual and developmental disabilities. The fundamental goal of the
Challenger program is to give everyone a chance to participate regardless of their limitation. Athletes with a wide variety of disabilities
including Autism, Asperger’s, Cerebral Palsy, Down Syndrome, spinal injuries, etc. are placed on teams with peers and coached by
volunteers. Challenger is about more than playing a game. It’s about making new friends, building self-esteem and being a part of a team.
To help athletes, we use a “buddy” system and pair each player with a volunteer that is at least 10 years of age or older.
