Right To Play is an athlete-driven international humanitarian organisation that partners with athletes from around the world to bring sport and play to the lives of children affected by war, poverty, disease and illness.

Athletes recognize the value of sport and play and the benefits it can bring to children. Star athletes are the heroes of children as well as entire nations. They are granted special status in society, with a considerable public profile and unique access to decision makers. The partnership between Right To Play and Athlete Ambassadors helps reinforce the ideals of the organization and is a great forum for athletes to give back.

Right To Play is supported by hundreds of Olympic and professional athletes who believe in the power of sport to change lives. Right To Play has been garnering the support of these athletes since the 2000 Olympic Summer Games in Sydney, where thousands of athletes signed Right To Play's banner supporting every child's right to play. Today that banner is proudly displayed at the United Nations Headquarters in New York.
