Just an idea in 2004, Athletes for Africa (A4A) has grown into an active and engaged Canadian charity, that we’re very proud to say — truly listens to youth in Africa. From Uganda to Sudan to the Democratic Republic of the Congo, Athletes for Africa has supported locally led programs that strengthen communities, provide education and foster skills development. We’ve done that fundraising over the years in a variety of ways, but have done it with you as our partner.
Thanks to all of the teams, event partners and volunteers for joining us on a damp August afternoon for Rock the Pitch 2012. It was another great day of footy action, where you helped us raise over $21,000! The money raised will be supporting programs for youth that strengthen communities, provide education and foster skills development.
Athletes for Africa’s Rock the Pitch 2012 just got very, very interesting. There’s been some trash talking this week between Footy Show FC team captain James Sharman and A4A All-Star captain, Eon Sinclair of Bedouin Soundclash. But the talking is done and they’ve now decided to go head-to-head to see who can raise the most money for Rock the Pitch this year, and there’s now a bet on the outcome.
Athletes for Africa is a nonprofit organization that uses the power and profile of sport to promote global citizenship and empower the next generation of youth in Africa. By raising funds and increasing awareness, A4A supports local programs that strengthen communities, provide education and foster skills development.
