Who We Are
Mission: To empower challenged youth to believe they can and erasing the ‘stigma’ from those who believe they can’t.
Bounce Out the Stigma® is a grassroots organization founded in 2005. Since then, the Program has received national acclaim. We have grown exponentially from a single basketball camp in New Jersey to a national year-round program. Our initial focus was on children with seizure disorders. Our programs have expanded to Autism, ADD, ADHD, Downs Syndrome, Emotional Disorders, and other children confronted with mental challenges. Our targeted demographic is for ages 7-21 male and female, and kids who are not mentally or emotionally comfortable at a mainstream athletic program and are capable beyond the stronger / deeper special needs community.
What We Do
We seek to partner with national, regional, and local organizations, including non-profit foundations, hospitals, colleges, schools, professional teams, and groups to provide a unique program in their community. We are also open to partnering and collaborating with companies that can help us expand our reach with our message and programs. We seek to have our message resonate with all people regardless of age or ability.
Programs are co-ed and offer participants an opportunity to build self-esteem, create friendships, experience teamwork and have lots of fun. Parent participation is encouraged so plan for an enjoyable experience for the entire family where long-lasting friendships are formed and everyone has fun and grows. Through our programs, the Project looks to create opportunities and a sense of awareness of disabilities in the community. Our goal is to see our participants grow up successfully and become empowered leaders of tomorrow.
