In recent years, Springfield College Athletics has made a committement to creating a partnership with Team IMPACT.  To date, the football, women's basketball, men's basketball, women's lacrosse, men's lacrosse, women's gymnastics, men's gymnastics, field hockey, wrestling, baseball, and softball teams have been involved with the program. At one time, Springfield College's had the most partnerships of any Division III program in the country.

Since its inception, Team IMPACT has created relationships that have enhanced the lives of hundreds of courageous children and touched the lives of thousands of student athletes across the country. The team behind Team IMPACT is honored and inspired to continue and expand the long standing tradition of athletes paying tribute to something that is far greater than themselves; the ability to come together, serve the community and support each and every member of the team through adversity both on and off the field.

Team IMPACT children are diagnosed with a wide variety of life-threatening and chronic illnesses, yet a common denominator is the impact their diagnosis has had on their quality of life.
