Our Mission
To connect kids up to age 13 undergoing orthopedic surgery for sports injuries with professional and college athletes who have also recovered from their own injuries.
Kids who require orthopedic surgery have other things they need to deal with -- missing school, getting around on crutches, being sidelined from sports, and just being "different" from their peers. At JAMS Pals, we believe that having a "buddy" who has had a similar experience can provide encouragement and support to make things just a little bit easier.
We match up kids with athletes via e-mail. Based on our experience, we believe that these relationships are helpful no matter the sport, gender, or location of the athlete. Read about Michael and Jeff's story to find out more.
