“1 Million Reasons to Encourage Sport”
There is a scene that is repeated every day in some corner of the world.
A boy or a girl, with their heart in their throat, running after a dream on the court or track in their neighborhood.
And what they want is not fame, nor medals, nor money.
They want the simple, pure and profound right to play sports, to feel alive, to learn discipline, to build a better life.
With this in mind, Sportika launches its campaign “1 Million Reasons to Promote Sport”.
For sport remember it starts with the FAMILY.
And the message is so simple it's beautiful: all it takes is one dollar.
Yes, a dollar a year . It's that simple. Because we're not asking for a titanic effort here, but rather an act of FAITH, a conviction that a million people, united by this idea, can change the destiny of thousands of young athletes around the world.
With just one dollar per person per year, Sportika has an ambitious but achievable goal: to raise one million dollars to literally build a new sports culture.
Why a dollar?
Because we understand the weight of every coin in your pockets. We know that this is a collective effort and that every dollar counts.
This small contribution will be the fuel that drives sports projects, programs that encourage boys and girls to live their passion, regardless of where they were born or how many opportunities they have.
And what do we do with that dollar?
Here comes the part we are most proud of: transparency.
Every cent raised will be reported in a clear and precise financial report, where we will explain what was achieved and where we are going.
Because the trust of a million people is not taken lightly, and at Sportika we know that our commitment is not only to our athletes and the new generations, but to each and every person who supports us.
How to participate?
Make history with us.
It's time to get moving!
