Athlete Recovery and Care Commitment Grant

Athlete Recovery and Care Commitment Grant is sponsored by Women's Sports Foundation. Provides financial support to injured women athletes for their recovery journey.

Athlete Recovery and Care Commitment Grant - Women's Sports Foundation The Equity Project Pledge This grant, established by TYLENOL ® in partnership with the Women’s Sports Foundation ® (WSF ® ), will provide a much-needed recovery fund as part of the Care Commitment from TYLENOL ® , which aims to support injured athletes on their road to recovery.

This grant will support injured women athletes facing painful setbacks, providing financial support as they rehab to get back into the game and continue their pursuit of greatness. Injuries often lead to physical and emotional consequences, as well as financial barriers for athletes, such as the loss of compensation or extensive, expensive medical bills.

As the #1 doctor recommended brand for pain relief and fever reduction, TYLENOL ® is providing funding that will help athletes have access to the resources they need to recover and compete once again. The grant is dedicated to breaking down barriers to care that prevent injured athletes from reaching their full potential, in alignment with the broader Care Without Limits commitment from TYLENOL ® .
