Ensuring every child has the opportunity to participate in sports.
Craig A. Bixler HERO Foundation is dedicated to ensuring every child has the opportunity to play sports, regardless of financial barriers. Did you know that 1 in 5 children in the U.S. are unable to participate in sports due to cost? We are here to change that by providing the necessary support for families in need, empowering young athletes, and building stronger communities.
Our Mission
The mission of the CAB Hero Foundation is to remove financial barriers so all children—especially those 12 and under—can participate in organized sports. The foundation is committed to promoting inclusivity, building stronger communities, and empowering youth by providing access, resources, and support to families in need.
Our Vision
The vision of the CAB Hero Foundation is to create a community where every child, regardless of background or financial situation, has the opportunity to thrive through sports. By fostering accessibility, empowerment, inclusivity, and community engagement, CAB envisions a future where youth athletics are a gateway to confidence, teamwork, resilience, and lifelong growth.

Why We Support CAB Hero
“As a volunteer for the CAB Hero foundation, their work in the community has been witnessed first hand. Their dedication to helping children succeed in extra curricular activities has made a difference to many, providing them with hope. As a mother with three children in multiple sports, I know what a financial strain sports can be on a family. CAB Hero Foundation’s commitment to helping children is deeply inspiring.”
-Dave S.
“I support the CAB Hero Foundation because I was one of those parents that when my kids were growing up, I needed the help to be able to let them play sports. The feeling that you get when you have to tell your child that they can not play a sport that they love is heartbreaking! I
don’t want any parent to have that feeling so I wanted to get involved with the foundation. I want to make sure that no child will ever have to worry about not being able to play a sport that they love!”
-Kelly
“As a teacher, I know how important it is for kids to have opportunities to learn and grow beyond the classroom. Volunteering with the C.A.B Hero Foundation has been a powerful extension of that. The foundation provides children with the chance to play sports, many of whom might not otherwise have that opportunity. I’m thankful to be able to help with an organization that makes sure all kids have the ability to play!”

These kids need your help!
Thanks to your incredible support, Livvy’s Christmas List raised nearly $5,000, gave away close to 1,000 toys, and helped over 150 families bring joy to their children this Christmas. None of this would have been possible without the generosity of those who donated, volunteered, or helped in any way to make this mission a success.
We’re already gearing up for next year and will be raising funds throughout the year to make an even bigger impact. Together, we can continue spreading the magic of Christmas to even more families in need. Thank you for being part of this incredible journey!
