“The most incredible thing about sport is there is a place for everybody, if you can move, you can be involved. We know that today’s youth is the least active generation. The minute you tell a kid you have worth, you are valuable, that’s when they start doing amazing things.”

Scout BassettNike athlete, Paralympian, CAF Spokesperson + Grantee since age 14
