The Ryan O'Callaghan Foundation (ROFDN) exists to provide scholarships, support, and mentorship for LGBTQ+ athletes of all levels.
At the ROFDN, we believe that we must begin to redraw our definition of what defines a person. Martin Luther King Jr. hit the nail on the head when he said. "I have a dream that my four little children will one day live in a nation where they will not be judged by the color of their skin, but by the content of their character."
Those words hold a truth that can be applied to every single person that has ever lived on this earth, transcending skin color, sexuality, age, and gender.
Those words paint a picture of a very possible reality!

SUPPORT
There are a great number of athletes who feel like they cannot be true to themselves and play the sport they love at the same time. The fact is, they can.
The Ryan O'Callaghan Foundation is committed to helping athletes of all levels who are struggling with their sexuality, dealing with peers and family.
