THE TOUR

Olympic Champion and Youth Advocate STACY DRAGILA sponsors "Stick Jumping" - an innovative growth mindset P.E. Program inspiring schoolchildren to "Try Something New."  

Stacy's Non-Profit is joining 87 yr-old former NFLer Ralph Thomas as he crosses the U.S. in an RV with his trusty therapy dog "Nellie" introducing schools to Stick Jumping.

Relying 100% on donations, the goal of their "Chase Your Dreams Tour" is daunting: 47 days, 23 Cities, 10,000+ schoolchildren, 2,000+ Jumping Sticks distributed, and permanent P.E. Programs launched in 20 school districts (with 250+ schools).
