With Team IMPACT matches at more than 400 NCAA institutions, this collaboration aims to change the game for student-athletes and children alike.
With 1,100 current NCAA teams matched, this collaboration allows Team IMPACT a powerful platform to expand its reach, engage broader audiences, and create new opportunities to impact families and college communities nationwide.
Together, Team IMPACT and the NCAA will ensure every child feels supported and every team able to discover a greater purpose. This joint effort will transform lives, offering strength, connection, and hope to both children and student-athletes alike.
“We believe that every child navigating serious health challenges deserves a team and, with the NCAA as our teammate, we’re closer to making that vision a reality.”

“This collaboration reflects the very best of college sports – using the platform of athletics to make a meaningful difference in the community. Team IMPACT’s model not only changes lives for the children involved but also transforms the student-athletes and teams who welcome them. I’ve been fortunate enough to meet with coaches and student-athletes alike who are involved in the program, and the impact is palpable. Student-athletes are learning about empathy, civic duty, and a different type of resilience than what’s on a scoreboard. We are incredibly proud to support this mission and help bring it to more communities across the country.”
