Nominee: Kennedy Wesley

Community Partner: Challenged Athletes Foundation

Appreciation Night Match: September 8

Kennedy has been involved in the community of those with various disabilities for several years now. In high school, she was a member of a service group that led events for members of a home for people with Down syndrome, from prom dances to outdoor activities. That experience prepared her well for the organization of a soccer camp at Stanford for World Down Syndrome Day in 2022, a day where members of both the men's and women's soccer teams at Stanford were able to play with and teach soccer to around 40 members of the local Down syndrome community. Kennedy's passion for creating opportunities for those with both mental and physical disabilities have prepared her well for involvement with the Challenged Athletes Foundation. She is excited to become even more involved with the San Diego community amongst others that are seeking the opportunities and sense of fellowship.
