Road to $1Million

Face of America 2026 is shaping up to be our biggest yet—nearly 90 adaptive riders, the largest group in seven years, with over two dozen joining for the first time.

That growth doesn’t happen without you. As program costs rise, we’re setting our sights on a new milestone: $1 million raised for inclusion. Whether we hit it this May or next, this community has what it takes to get us there and welcome even more adaptive athletes into the World TEAM family.

Together, we’re raising $1 million for inclusive athletics. Here’s how those funds help our mission:

Support For Our Mission of Inclusion

From Valley of the Sun to FOA to ATC: New York, $1M ensures every event is fully resourced—supplies, meals, equipment, and vehicles—so athletes can focus on the ride, not the logistics.

Growth For Our Adaptive Athlete Community

Each year, more athletes discover what's possible here. $1M expands our capacity to welcome adaptive athletes seeking challenge, camaraderie, and community.

Travel Support That Makes a Difference

We're proud to offer travel grants to adaptive athletes who need them. As airfare and costs climb, $1M helps us extend that support further and reach more athletes.

Meals and Lodging Covered

Hotel rooms and meals remain completely free for adaptive athletes. $1M keeps it that way—because financial barriers shouldn't stand between anyone and this experience.
