COLLEGE PARK, Md. -- Maryland Athletic Director Damon Evans has been named to Team IMPACT's National Board of Directors.
"Joining the National Board of Directors for Team IMPACT is very special to me," said Evans. "Knowing the history Maryland Athletics has with Team IMPACT, I am excited to be able to enhance our already strong relationship. The impact our Terrapin student-athletes have had with their Team IMPACT teammates over the past decade has been invaluable. In joining the National Board, I will do all I can to help the organization reach its goals and have a positive effect on so many young people as they live out their dreams by becoming Terps."
Maryland Athletics has enjoyed a strong relationship with Team IMPACT for more than a decade now with eight teams currently matched with teammates from local children's hospitals. The University has 'signed' a Big Ten-leading 14 kids to Terps' rosters over the years and will seek to grow that relationship to even more Terrapin sports programs. Team IMPACT tackles the emotional trauma and social isolation experienced by children facing serious and chronic illnesses by matching them with a college athletic team. Through a two-year therapeutic program that complements their medical treatments, children develop relationships and skills that help them complete the full circle of healing.
"We are excited to welcome Damon to our National Board of Directors," said Seth Rosenzweig, CEO, Team IMPACT. "Damon has been a champion of our efforts for a number of years, which is evident in the University of Maryland becoming our first university partner. Damon brings tremendous experience in the athletic arena as well as a passion for making a positive difference in the world using the platform of sports. We look forward to working together to continue achieving our dreams and aspirations for the organization as we strive to ensure every child living a serious or chronic illness has access to our program while embedding Team IMPACT into the fabric of college athletics."
