Project Possible Award

Project Possible Award

The NSF Project Possible Award (Previously the OM Foundation Award) is presented in partnership with Bonner Paddock and Project Possible. The inaugural NSF OM Foundation Award was awarded at the 2014 National Sports Forum. The award recognizes and celebrates an individual in the sports and entertainment industry who goes above and beyond to better their community. This entails anything from volunteering to help teach underprivileged children how to read on the weekends to starting a foundation that helps raise awareness and money for a certain illness, and beyond. In 2022, the One Man Foundation evolved into Project Possible.

Individuals and organizations are nominated by peers and coworkers and the recipients are hand selected by the Project Possible Award Selection Committee and the NSF Steering Committee. The recipient of the NSF OM Foundation Award is presented with the award at the National Sports Forum in front of the entire NSF audience.

Who We’re Looking For

About Project Possible

Project Possible (formerly One Man Foundation) is a non-profit started in 2009 by Bonner Paddock to build and support early learning centers for children with all types of disabilities in the U.S. and Africa. Bonner, along with his foundation, has raised over $1 Million Dollars for special needs children by summiting Mt. Kilimanjaro in 2008 and completing the Ironman World Championship in Kona, Hawaii, in 2012 unassisted. Bonner was the first person with cerebral palsy to achieve both. What started as an idea by 1 man has now become a global organization with 5 centers in 5 countries- Uganda, Kenya, Tanzania, Nicaragua, and the United States.

Bonner, through Project Possible and speaking engagements, promotes the idea that “any one person can make a difference if they dedicate themselves to look beyond their own personal limits to achieve their goals”.
