Andrew McAllister founded the Believe It Foundation in 2008 for the purpose of enriching the lives of physically challenged children through the inclusion of those children in the lives and experiences of those who do not face the same limitations.
Far too often these children are needlessly excluded from opportunities to participate with others when a little extra effort is all that is necessary. Attending a major sporting event, taking a family trip, participating in Scouting, or going to summer camp can all be life changing experiences for any child, especially if physically challenged.
Since inception, the Foundation has supported hundreds of children with physical challenges to get off the sidelines and jump into the game through school-based programs, camps, excursions, social activities, and college scholarships. The vision from the beginning has been to create widespread belief in a world where physically challenged individuals have every right to be our colleagues at work, our friends at dinner, and join others in being powerful advocates for what a more inclusive future looks like.
