Our mission at Athletes Helping Athletes is to connect local athletes with special needs with mainstream student-athletes in a spirit of friendship for their mutual benefit, inspiration and respect.
NGA was founded in 1885 in Philadelphia, PA by Mrs. Alanson Hartpence, her niece Mrs. Laura Safford Steward and six of her friends. They were inspired by Lady Wolverton’s Queen Mary’s London Needlework Guild. Following the model of the Queen Mary’s London Needlework Guild, the Needlework Guild of America in its first year made 921 garments to distribute to children in hospitals, orphanages, and to individuals and families who were needy. They made each child two articles of clothing: one to wash and one to wear.s Lack of clothing not only exposes youth to potential health and safety risks, but it also makes them feel excluded, invisible, and undervalued among their peers, hindering their socialization and education. We believe that clothing is a basic human right and that every child is worthy of having clothes that make them feel confident and secure. sWe provide new clothing, essential items and other services so that children and youth have the resources to safely develop to their potential.

My name is Rebecca Kelly. As an Honorary Commander, I’m proud to be working alongside my young daughter to collect donations so that we may provide stuffed animals to military-connected kids.My family and I are committed to our mission in sharing the love, comfort and joy stuffed animals have brought to our kids for so many years. We hope you will join us in helping our military families, as well as teaching and inspiring others about the importance of giving back, especially to those who sacrifice so much for us.
