We are pleased to announce our support of
CHILD USA
with a grant of
$50,000
to fund a study to determine the incidence of child abuse and neglect within elite athletics.
The goal of this study is to understand the extent of abuse, under what circumstances it occurs, and how it happens. With this information
CHILD USA
and other advocacy groups can create policies and potential legal reforms to protect athletes from abuse in the future.
The survey will be launched at the first national symposium on
Athletes and Abuse
on
April 25th
at the
University of Pennsylvania
.
