Every Ball Begins a Story of Hope.
Around the world, children in underserved communities are creating makeshift balls from plastic bags, scraps of fabric, and string—just for the chance to play. Their creativity and resilience are inspiring, but play shouldn't be a privilege reserved for the fortunate few.
Through TeamUp's Christmas Ball Project, your gift provides real, high-quality sports balls to children and youth who would otherwise go without. These aren't just toys—they're tools for building confidence, strengthening communities, and opening doors to opportunities these children have never imagined.
This year's goal: Fund 1,000 new sports balls for 1,000 children across Uganda, Malawi, Paraguay, Peru and Canada.
