Where Does the Money Go?

Through partner U.S. Doctors for Africa, we have created a special fund for all donations raised by players and coaches who participate in the 24-Hour Game. It is called the USDFA/AWB–24HR Fund.

By written agreement, 100% of those participant monies will go directly toward supporting the efforts of volunteer American medical personnel as they serve the people of Africa. Not one penny will be used for 24-Hour event costs, nor for overhead for either organization.

The main goal is improving the health of African women & children affected by the HIV/AIDS pandemic. Specifically, we will work to help babies to be born free of HIV. The fund will be wholly devoted to providing healthcare, medical professionals, medicine, education and counseling to empower African women and children in their fight against HIV/AIDS.

All donations are 100% tax deductible.
