Athletes for Hope Map It »	5335 Wisconsin Ave., N.W., Suite 850 Washington, DC, 20015 (202) 721-7210 Website
Description OUR MISSION To educate, encourage and assist athletes in their efforts to contribute to community and charitable causes, to increase public awareness of those efforts, and to inspire others to do the same. OUR PURPOSE Educate Athletes, with the proper information and tools, can make a tremendous positive impact on the charitable community. By connecting with professional athletes and teaching them about their philanthropic options, we will equip them with the tools to effectively give back to their community, educate their peers, and inspire many others to support charitable causes. Connect Athletes for Hope will connect athletes, charities, businesses, and individuals to create a movement for positive change. Many athletes have strong philanthropic objectives, yet do not know how to identify and get involved with organizations that best suit those objectives; likewise, many charities do not know how to utilize an athlete's time efficiently to best serve their objectives. AFH will match athletes' philanthropic goals with the needs of charities. Many corporations want to enhance their philanthropic efforts by partnering with the professional athlete community. AFH will help businesses design effective charitable activities and programs that involve athletes. There is also a special bond between athletes and their fans, and AFH will build upon that connection to inspire millions of people to follow the lead of athletes in a philanthropic movement. Recognize We value the hard work and contributions that professional athletes make to the charitable world, and we believe it is important to recognize these efforts. Through this recognition, we hope to celebrate the significant impact athletes can have on the lives of others, show our gratitude for their dedication to making a difference, increase the visibility of the athletes, charities and businesses involved, and inspire others to become part of the philanthropic movement.
