Message From Pat:
"I feel truly blessed to be in a postion to give back to the community that gave me such wonderful opportunities and experiences during my athletic and professional careers.

I
 have been privilaged to meet and become friends with the world's elite athletes.  It has become apparent that the same principles apply to Olympic athletes as everyone else.  This process has been simplified for elementary and middle school students into my "growing Up, Going Up" program, based on 5-steps: dream, work, ouchies (mistakes), being with good people and helping others.

It is heartwarming to see the glow and hope in kids faces when they realize the CAN reach for the stars, and with a little help and support, achieve tremendous success.

Since 'Pat's Champs' program was introduced in 1984, we have come a long way.  It would not have been possible without the efforts of many people who share my dreams.

Our most recent outreach through the schools is the Life Skills Training (LST) program that the Founadtion is making available to thousand of middle school children."
