Get a God/Goddess Promotion – Bring a Friend Discount

Adventure is even better when shared. Through our “Get a God/Goddess” promotion, Project Athena alumni can invite a friend to join them on an upcoming adventure and receive a $500 discount when the friend registers as a God/Goddess.

If an alum recruits a friend to sign up with them, the original God/Goddess will receive a $500 discount. The discount may be applied to the alum’s registration, the friend’s registration, or split between the two participants.

This promotion is valid for new registrations completed between now and June 30. Once both participants have registered, simply send an email requesting that the discount be applied.

At Project Athena, we believe it’s all about the comeback. 🌅✨

When life knocks you down, it’s the courage to rise again…stronger, braver, and more hopeful. That’s what defines your story.

Together, we empower survivors to become athletes, adventurers, and living proof that setbacks don’t get the final say.

💪✨ What is a God or Goddess? ✨💪

At Project Athena, we have two incredible groups of participants:
🌸 Athenas/Zeuses – our amazing survivors who’ve overcome medical or traumatic challenges.
🔥 Gods/Goddesses – our dedicated fundraisers who help make these life-changing adventures possible!

Our Gods and Goddesses can be family, friends, co-workers, or anyone with a big heart and a passion for adventure and purpose. Every step they take and every dollar they raise helps fund Athenaship Grants — empowering survivors to reclaim their strength through epic adventures. 🌎💫

🏃‍♀️ What does it take to be a God or Goddess?
✅ Commit to meeting the fundraising minimum.
✅ Complete 20 weeks of guided training with our qualified coaches.
✅ Bring your enthusiasm, compassion, and willingness to go the distance!

We’ll support you every step of the way — from training to fundraising — so you’re ready for the adventure of a lifetime.

Are you ready to be someone’s hero? 💜

🌟 Get to know the mission of Project Athena Foundation! 🌟

At Project Athena, we’re all about helping resilient individuals make the leap from Survivor → Athlete. We provide travel support, coaching, gear — and above all, the belief that you can push into a new chapter. 🚀

“It’s not about trying to get back to what you were… It’s about trying to be the best of what you’re capable of today.” — Founder Robyn Benincasa 

We host four yearly adventures in a team-oriented, non-competitive environment that supports survivors of medical or traumatic setbacks. If you or someone you know is ready to take that next step, check out how you can apply or support the cause.
