Thalia Schrumpf
Co-Founder & Director of Fundraising / Events
BACKGROUND
I was born in Los Angeles California, but consider Florida my home. I have really enjoyed growing up in a state that has 10 months of Summer and allows me to enjoy an outdoor lifestyle. I have been involved in dance, cheer, basketball and soccer since I was 5 years old and have been a varsity athlete since the 8th grade.
​
What Does AASP Mean to You?
I have played and competed alongside teammates and friends that had to drop out due to the financial hardships their single parents faced. When we started the foundation I remember thinking to myself "If I can provide support for just 1 athlete and keep them involved in organized sports I would consider that a great victory." We are proud to have provided student athletes over 250 scholarships in the past 5 years and have received over 1,000 scholarship requests. My daily goal is to help educated kids, parents, leagues and sponsors on the program we have available to them and the benefit it has on the athletes, families and communities we serve.

BACKGROUND
I was born in Los Angeles California, and moved to Florida with my family at an early age. I really love all that the Sunshine State has to offer, especially the weather which allows kids like myself to be active year round. I have played organized sports since I was 4 years old and value all the friendship and memories competing has provided me.
​
What Does AASP Mean to You?
I created this organization out of my passion to help people that otherwise wouldn't get the opportunity to compete, make lifelong friendships and learn all the valuable life lessons that playing organized sports provides athletes. One of my dearest friends growing up, and subsequently many more along the way, struggled to continue competing in organized sports because of the financial burden it placed on his single mother. While my family personally helped to support the athlete for years, ultimately he fell out of sports and has missed out on so many of the opportunities and memories I have been able to create. My goal is to help kids in that same position stay in sports and grow as individuals as a result.
Future Goals
My future goals center around becoming a compassionate and impactful physician. I aspire to specialize in primary care, cardiology, or oncology, driven by a passion for improving public health and providing personalized care to underserved communities. I plan to pursue medical school at an institution with strong research opportunities, community outreach programs, and a commitment to student wellness. I hope to integrate my interests in research, nonprofit work, and clinical practice to address health disparities, advance primary care, and improve access to healthcare. Long-term, I envision combining my medical career with continued involvement in initiatives like Athletic Assistance for Single Parents, ensuring the impact I have on my community extends beyond the clinical setting.
