Turn your passion for sports into life-changing impact.
Sports bring people together, build teamwork, inspire energy, and unite communities. At MercyTree International Foundation, we believe that your love for sports can also bring hope and health to vulnerable families across Sub-Saharan Africa. By participating in or organizing a sports event for MercyTree, you help raise vital funds for medical missions, maternal and child health, humanitarian support, and community development projects.
Whether you enjoy running, football, cycling, fitness challenges, or team competitions, every step, goal, or mile can help save lives. From school sports days to corporate tournaments, community fitness challenges, marathons, and friendly matches—your event becomes a powerful force for good.
Ways to Get Involved
- Host a charity football or volleyball match
- Organize a walk-a-thon or run-a-thon
- Create a cycling or hiking challenge
- Plan a school or campus sports day fundraiser
- Start a fitness or step challenge with friends
- Launch a corporate team sports tournament

Your Sports Event Can Help:
- Deliver essential medical care to rural villages
- Supply clinics and outreach teams with life-saving equipment
- Support maternal and child health programs
- Provide humanitarian aid to families in crisis
- Strengthen community health across Sub-Saharan Africa
Sports create champions—both on and off the field. When you dedicate your athletic energy to MercyTree, you become a champion for children, mothers, and families who need your support.
