AMERICA'S STRONGEST TEEN

334729207_139164492400298_34574037382697545_n.jpg

The Driven Athlete Foundation partnered with Strongman Corporation, the largest strongman organization in the world, to serve teen athletes by founding and hosting the America's Strongest Teen competition in 2022.

Since then this competition has grown over the years even after Big Tommy Burns stepped away from the sport America's Strongest Teen is still a competition that teens from across the country look forward to participating in. 

 

Funds raised by The Driven Athlete Foundation was used to offer all teen athletes that qualified and participated in America's Strongest Teen competition free registration into the competition. TDAF also supported families that were facing economic hardship with the TDAF Family Sponsorship. The Driven Athlete Foundation provided funds for transportation, lodging, registration and food for the weekend while at America's Strongest Teen for the teen athlete and parent/guardian.
