For the past 13 years, the people of Gaza have been subjected to multiple and consecutive military bombardments that left behind many orphans and children with physical disabilities and mental health issues. These issues do not only affect these children’s daily lives, but also their ability to thrive in the future. Out of a feeling of social responsibility towards these children, athletes from inside and outside of Palestine got together and decided to offer a gesture of support.

On Thursday June 3, a fitness event will be held on a global scale, with the aim of raising awareness towards this issue, in addition to raising funds that will be directly donated to the Palestine Children’s Relief Fund (PCRF) in Gaza. The funds will mainly benefit the Gaza Amputee Project. 

Tell your friends and family and join us from your gym, the playground nearby, or even from your own house, and let us join hands to build a better future.

The PCRF is a legally-registered non-political, non-profit, 501(c)3 tax-exempt organization established in 1991 by concerned people to address the medical and humanitarian needs of Palestinian and Arab youths in the Middle East. We have provided thousands of children life-saving care based on their need, not on religion, gender, nationality or sect.

The main objective of the PCRF is to identify and treat every child in the Middle East in need of specialized surgery not available to them locally. We locate, sponsor and run international, volunteer medical missions to the Middle East, in additional to locating free medical care abroad for children who cannot be adequately treated in the Middle East. The PCRF  is the main organization regularly sending injured and sick Arab children to North and South America, the Middle East and Europe for free care that is not available to them there. Since 1991 over 1,000 children have been abroad for millions of dollars of donated care, and over 10,000 have had complex surgery by our visiting medical missions to the region. The PCRF has been awarded the top 4-star rating by Charity Navigator for fiscal management, while being able to treat more kids than any other charity in the Middle East.
