MEET AUSTEN

Founder Austen Everett was a nationally ranked goalkeeper for the Univ. of Miami while fighting her own battle with cancer. 

​

Her dream to empower all kids with cancer, giving them a chance to stand-in with athletes, on the field for a variety of sporting participations is now her legacy.

​

AEF upholds her vision that goal-oriented sports have an undeniable power to provide strength, support, inspiration, and hope to kids in the fight for their lives.

"There is no struggle too great, no hardship to be avoided, no effort to be wasted, when one works to win the fight against cancer."

EMPOWERING THE FIGHT

Everyday over 822 kids are diagnosed with cancer worldwide. In the United States, each year over 15,780 kids between the ages of 0 and 19 will be diagnosed with cancer.

  

Recent studies by Nationwide Children’s Hospital, show that children who were involved in programs such as the Honorary Team Captain Program are 2.5 times more likely to have fewer unplanned hospital admissions, and 1.9 times more likely to have fewer unplanned emergency visits compared to patients of similar age, gender, disease category, and disease complexity.
