Our Marda’s House and Block education programs are funded through the Rebound Foundation’s annual Rebound Challenge fundraiser as well as through charitable gifts from local and national donors.
Join us as we work to end the cycle of abuse.
In 2017, Dana Ford, who was the head men’s basketball coach at Tennessee State University, initiated the inaugural Rebound Challenge Game. This event united students, local businesses, and fans in raising awareness about domestic violence while demonstrating their support for The Rebound Foundation and Marda’s House. Now serving as a men’s basketball coach at Southern Methodist University, Dana remains committed to promoting The Rebound Challenge and advancing its mission through the game of basketball.
Each contribution empowers us to create secure living environments for survivors who have shown remarkable courage in fleeing abusive circumstances. Additionally, it provides us with the resources to inform more youth about the differences between healthy and unhealthy relationships.
Our desire is to have The Rebound Challenge take place in schools and universities across the nation. Funds raised through the events would benefit The Rebound Foundation and the hometown teams non-profit of choice, tackling domestic violence in their local community.
Contact us to get involved.
How does The Rebound Challenge work?
Supporters are encouraged to pledge $1 (or more) per rebound the Bears make during their Rebound Challenge Game.
Every donation allows us to give safe homes to women and mothers who were courageous enough to escape a life of abuse and the opportunity to educate more youth on healthy and unhealthy relationships.
Thank you for your support!
