SISTERS IN SPORTS FOUNDATION

OUR MISSION

Sisters in Sports Foundation aims to build a community of disabled women and girls who are empowered through sport. We exist so women and girls with disabilities don’t have to navigate sport alone. We go beyond access, standing beside our athletes with sustained mentorship, financial support, and whole-person development so they not only enter sport, but stay, grow, and lead within it for years to come.

From Milan Cortina to LA 2028

A Milestone for Sisters in Sports and Only the Beginning

The 2026 Milan Cortina Paralympic Winter Games marked an incredible milestone for Sisters in Sports, with six of our athletes and two co-founders representing Team USA on the world stage.

These women showed what’s possible when female athletes with disabilities have the support, resources, and opportunities they deserve with amazing paralympic medals to personal bests.

Now, we’re building on that momentum and supporting the next generation of athletes on the Road to LA 2028 and beyond.

Our summer athletes are working toward LA 2028, while our winter athletes are already pursuing 2030 and looking ahead to 2034, when the Paralympic Winter Games return to the United States and our home state of Utah.

The next generation is already here. The time to support them is now. From LA 2028 to 2030, Utah 2034, and beyond, Sisters in Sports will be there every step of the way.


Meet the Women You’re Empowering

These are the women at the heart of our mission – athletes chasing extraordinary goals, overcoming real barriers, and proving what’s possible with the right support beside them.

Every athlete’s path is different. What unites them is courage, resilience, ambition, and the power of community.

The SIS Support Model:

Because staying in sport takes more than talent.

Mental Performance & Wellness:

Strength for the mind. Support for the whole athlete.

One-on-one mental performance support and expert-led programming designed to strengthen confidence, resilience, and emotional wellbeing.

Mentorship & Big SIS Leadership:

More than mentorship. A sisterhood built to last.

Mentorship rooted in lived experience that evolves into leadership and lasting connection.

Athlete Grants & Direct Support

Because dreams should not end where funding begins.

Sustained direct support that helps athletes overcome barriers like travel, training, coaching, and adaptive equipment costs.

Community & Leadership Development:

Where connection becomes confidence.

Programs that build communication, leadership, belonging, confidence, and sisterhood.
