Right To Play
Join the Right To Play Team and run, walk or wheel the Toronto Waterfront to raise funds to help give every child the right to play!
Right To Play is an athlete-driven international humanitarian organization that uses sport and play as a tool for development of children and youth in the most disadvantaged areas of the world. Right To Play currently works in 23 countries across Africa, Asia, and the Middle East and has reached more than 500,000 children with its sport and play programming in just a few short years.
Originally known as Olympic Aid, Right To Play is supported by a network of 300 Canadian and international athletes — including Wayne Gretzky, Clara Hughes, Joe Thornton, Daniel Alfredsson, Hayley Wickenheiser, Jose Calderon, Gregg Zaun and many more — who generously donate their time to give back through sport.
Right To Play engages and trains Canadian and international volunteers who work with communities to implement our programs. Right To Play programs impact refugee children, former child soldiers and young people at risk or orphaned by HIV/AIDS. Alongside local coaches, our volunteers are delivering on our promise to shape children's lives by improving their health, providing growth opportunities, teaching conflict resolution and promoting peace.
