Welcome to Athletes Helping Athletes

Mission Statement

The mission of Athletes Helping Athletes is to connect local special needs athletes with mainstream student-athletes in a spirit of friendship for their mutual benefit and inspiration.

About Us

Athletes Helping Athletes, Inc. exists to provide both financial support, through fund-raising for Special Olympics and Special Needs programs throughout Bucks County, PA, as well as community support for the special athletes through their inclusion in local school athletic functions, including the opportunity to serve as Honorary Team Captains at home games.

AHA has also instituted new events, like "Football Fun Night," and "Spring Training Baseball Day," for the purpose of having local high school coaches and players teach the game to our special needs athletes, and making sure that having fun while learning is a priority.

Athletes Helping Athletes believes that a world of greater acceptance for all can begin with our children, sharing athletic experiences and a love for sport while developing compassion and mutual respect.

Over the past six years, Athletes Helping Athletes has raised over $107,000 for Special Olympics of Bucks County, through sponsored golf outings in partnership with the Council Rock North High School Boys and Girls Basketball teams, the Football team, and other generous supporters throughout the Council Rock School District.

Starting our seventh year, in the Fall of 2008, we were pleased to announce that Council Rock South High School has joined our Honorary Captain Program, and just like Council Rock North has shown, the Council Rock South Football Team, as well as the Boys and Girls Basketball Teams have embraced this program with open arms!

The Council Rock School District has named AHA, Inc. as their designated Charity for the 2008 - 2009 School Year! Athletes Helping Athletes Inc. is extremely grateful for the volunteers, the generosity and the compassion shown to our Special Needs Community. We are amazed at the energy, the passion, and the innovative ideas that each and every school within the Council Rock School District has put into their individual fund raising efforts!

Teaching our children that it is better to give...

Our goal is to expand this program to include other schools and school districts throughout Bucks County.
