Paralympic Medalist Jamal Hill Launches Official Road to LA28 Campaign and $3M Corporate Fundraising Initiative

Olympic Hopeful, ESPY Nominee, and Social Impact Leader Calls on Sponsors to Fuel the Path to Gold and Global Equity

LOS ANGELES, CALIFORNIA — Jamal Hill, Paralympic medalist and trailblazing advocate for youth swim access and disability inclusion, has officially launched his Road to LA28 Olympic and Paralympic Campaign. As one of Team USA’s top swimming contenders, Hill is training full-time to compete on home turf at the 2028 Games and has unveiled a two-pronged fundraising strategy aimed at supporting both his elite performance journey and his expansive public impact work.


With a $3 million campaign goal, Hill is inviting corporate sponsors and ESG-aligned investors to join his movement, backing not only a gold medal pursuit but a global legacy of youth empowerment. The effort kicks off with a star-studded cocktail reception at Yamashiro Hollywood in July 2025, hosted with support from ABG Group (Reebok, Sports Illustrated) and members of the Swim Up Hill Foundation board.

Back turned, shoulders squared—Jamal Hill stands in his TEAM USA jacket announcing his LA28 Olympic Sponsorship Campaign. A visual call to action that blends elite ambition with purpose-driven legacy.

“I’m not just swimming for gold—I’m swimming for every kid who needs to believe in their power,” said Jamal Hill. “LA28 is home turf. Let’s show the world what homegrown greatness looks like.”

Hill, the only African American swimmer to medal in the Paralympics for any nation, is uniquely positioned to become a defining face of LA28. His story—chronicled from Tokyo 2020 to the upcoming Games—is not just one of athletic excellence but of systemic transformation. Through the Swim Up Hill Companies, Hill has built platforms in swim education, AI safety tools, youth gaming, and animation, aiming to teach 1 million kids to swim annually by 2028.


The campaign’s dual fundraising structure includes:

  1. ESG/Social Impact Donor Campaign – Targeting foundations and public-sector champions aligned with swimming access, youth development, and disability inclusion.

  2. Corporate Sponsorship Campaign – Offering brand placement, speaking opportunities, digital media access, and exclusive licensing to companies aligned with LA28 values, DEI, and education innovation.

Hill is training out of the iconic Los Angeles Athletic Club with a specialized team supporting his physical, mental, and spiritual preparation. He is backed by a legacy of major sponsors, including Ralph Lauren, Deloitte, Airbnb, H2O Audio, and Reebok.
