Every Champion Has A Place

Champion Games is the signature annual event of the Moe Norris Foundation and a celebration of ability, innovation, and opportunity. Each year, more than 2,000 youth and families come together for two unforgettable days of adaptive sports, disability talent, technology, entrepreneurship, and community. More than an event, Champion Games is a movement designed to show the world that people with disabilities are truly capable and able when given the opportunity, support, and platform to succeed.

Through celebrity competitions, inclusive games, the annual Disability Talent Showcase, and the Disability Technology Showcase, Champion Games creates life-changing experiences while connecting families with resources, careers, education, and innovation. Every year, these showcases will become national staples, highlighting remarkable talent from the disability community and introducing groundbreaking disability technologies that improve independence while helping innovators grow their companies.

Growing up alongside my brother, who lives with Osteogenesis Imperfecta (brittle bone disease), I saw firsthand how much talent, determination, and potential often go unnoticed because of disability. I realized the world doesn’t lack ability, it often lacks opportunity.
— Moe Norris, Founder

Get Inspired

Every Champion Has a Place. The World Comes to Witness Ability.

Champion Games was inspired by one simple belief: every person deserves the chance to be seen for their abilities, not their limitations.

The Moe Norris Foundation exists to help create those opportunities. Champion Games is where that mission comes to life. Our goal is to bridge the gap between people with and without disabilities, celebrate what makes each individual unique, inspire the next generation, and accelerate innovation that creates greater independence. Because when the right people stand behind someone, extraordinary things happen.
