CHALLENGED ATHLETES FOUNDATION

A NEW HOME: THE DENI AND JEFF JACOBS CHALLENGED ATHLETES CENTER

Challenged Athletes Foundation (CAF) has begun construction on there new world headquarters in San Diego. CAF is a local non-profit organization the started with the soul of a dream to help one man overcome complete paralysis to a 16-year journey or providing opportunity and hope for more than 4000 people worldwide with physical disabilities. The pinnacle of this journey is now being realized with the completion and opening of the Deni and Jeff Jacos Challenged Athletes Center. The building plans are complete, the brand vision is clear and renovations have started. Thanks to the generosity of Deni and Jeff Jacobs for their significant leadership gift in naming the building and to the dedicated riders who have participated in the past three years of our Qualcomm Million Dollar Challenge, CAF will now have a new home.

It is the mission of the Challenged Athletes Foundation to provide opportunities and support to people with physical disabilities so they can pursue active lifestyles through physical fitness and competitive athletics. The Challenged Athletes Foundation believes that involvement in sports at any level increases self-esteem, encourages independence and enhances quality of life.
