These aren’t your normal nonprofit events.
Our story
It all began when our founder, Catie Cooper's mom, entered hospice in February 2022. Carrie Cooper lost her battle with Huntington's Disease on March 23rd, 2022.
This loss ignited a drive in Catie to bring awareness to those who feel they do not have a voice or a say in the fight. Ever since March 23rd, 2022, Catie has strived to create a community of individuals to bring awareness, raise funds for the disease, and find a cure. As of now, there is no cure for Huntington's Disease. Putting a spotlight on it and creating this brand will ignite more attention and passion around the cause.
Catie created HIIT HD Back on May 13th, 2023, partnering with The Huntington's Disease Society of America. Jack Cooper, who plays college hockey, created an awareness and fundraising night at King's University in Pennsylvania. Together, the Coopers raised over $30k and continue to fight.
Catie and Jack also participate in the HDSA boards of the San Jose Hope Walk and the Portland Hope Walk. Pictured below is the Cooper family during the puck drop at Jack Cooper's Huntington's Disease Awareness night, as well as the Cooper Team for the HDSA San Jose Hope Walk.
Our Mission
At The Huntington’s Sports Club, our mission is to create a community that inspires, empowers, and brings hope. We are committed to honoring those impacted by Huntington’s Disease while raising awareness and driving fundraising efforts through the power of movement—something many in the HD community gradually lose.
We welcome everyone—whether or not you have a direct connection to Huntington’s Disease—to join us in standing alongside HD families. By participating, you’re not just showing up for an event; you’re contributing to the movement toward a cure.
Exciting events are on the horizon, each designed to bring people together, foster community, and shine a light on Huntington’s Disease. These gatherings will serve as both a space for connection and a platform to raise critical funds for research and support services.
Together, we will put Huntington’s Disease on the map, build awareness, and make a lasting impact for families affected by this devastating illness.
“Join the club and fight for a cure.”
