Thanks for visiting my Santa Shuffle fundraising page!
Hi, I am a safe sports student ambassador. I would love it if you could donate even as little as 5 dollars to this organization. The people at safe sports network help student-athletes like myself recover from injuries. Anything from a sprained ankle to torn ACL these Athletic trainers will help you at every step of the way to make sure you get back as soon as possible.
On December 3rd, I’ll be running in the Santa Shuffle to support Safe Sports Network. Kids benefit so much from participating in sports, but only if they're safe.
Please join me with a donation to help me reach my fundraising goal. Your donation supports the Safe Sports Network and all contributions are tax deductible.

Santa Claus Shuffle
Saturday, December 3rd, 2022 marks the 12th running of the BASC Santa Claus Shuffle. The shuffle is a 3-mile out-and-back course that starts and finishes at Veteran’s Park in downtown Manchester.
THE CAUSE
Imagine: A young athlete has collapsed on the field and isn’t moving. What happens in the next few minutes could make the difference between life and death. Is this something you want to leave to chance?
Safe Sports uses proven tools to help reduce the risk of sports participation. That’s our mission: to keep kids safer by promoting and providing a safe sports environment. All services provided free for over 6,000 students per year, including:
- injury care on site at high schools and an injury evaluation clinic in downtown Manchester;
- emergency action plans created and practiced for over 100 teams per year;
- CPR and first aid training;
- athletic health care on site at practices and games
- comprehensive concussion management programs;
- education on sports medicine topics.
Our athletic trainers work under the direction of Jim Vailas, MD who has been the Safe Sports Network Medical Director since its inception. Coordinating the daily operations is Program Director Dawn Belmore, MEd, N.H.LAT, ATC.
In the 2021-2022 school year, Safe Sports athletic trainers evaluated 1,200 new injuries, provided over 17,500 treatments at no charge to the athletes, and provided care at more than 250 appointments through our injury evaluation clinic. In partnership with ExpressMed we have performed approximately 10,000 free sports physicals over the last 3 decades.
