The Care Commitment by TYLENOL®
A $1,000,000 fund to help injured athletes on the road to recovery
The Care Commitment by TYLENOL® exists to help fund athletes facing painful setbacks as they recover & continue their pursuit of greatness.
As part of the larger Greatness Hurts.™ campaign, The Care Commitment by TYLENOL® recognizes that pursuing greatness hurts. So, TYLENOL® will be there to provide Care Without Limits.
TYLENOL® is committing $1,000,000 in funding over three years to help athletes recover from injury and compete once again, starting this year by sponsoring the Women’s Sports Foundation® (WSF®).
Athlete Recovery and Care Commitment Grant
The WSF’s Athlete Recovery and Care Commitment Grant aims to help women athletes overcome pain and recover from setbacks to their career caused by injury, ultimately helping them achieve their career goals. The grant application is now open and an additional 12 elite women athletes will be selected for $10,000 in funding to support their recovery journey after being sidelined by injury. Eligible applicants can apply now through Wednesday, April 8 at www.WomensSportsFoundation.org/RecoveryGrant.
Followers can stay up to date on the latest from the grant program by following @tylenol on Instagram and @tylenol_us on TikTok.
