Campaigns That Mobilize Athletes for Children

Compassion’s Athlete Partnerships have already helped rally athletes, teams, fans and supporters around urgent needs facing children in poverty. From pandemic relief to the global food crisis to support for mothers and babies, these campaigns show what’s possible when athletes use their platform to move people toward lasting impact.

COVID-19 shut-downs and restrictions cut thousands of families off from the jobs and opportunities they relied on—including critical support from Compassion for 70,000 children. That’s when pro athletes and Compassion International partnered to launch the Fill the Stadium™ campaign. Together, pro athletes, artists, fans, and philanthropists helped reach children with life-saving food and medical support.

Through Fill the Arena®, Pro Hockey players had the opportunity to step onto the global stage not just as athletes, but as game-changers for children in need. Through the emergency food assistance provided by Compassion International, lives were transformed for 8,000 children and their families amidst the Global Food Crisis, highlighting the extraordinary impact of Pro Hockey players both on and off the ice.

The Fight for First

Millions of children in poverty around the world die within their first year of life due to a lack of resources, delivery complications, malnutrition, and preventable diseases. Pro athlete families teamed up with Compassion to fund 500 Survival Centers that supported 25,000 mothers and 25,000 babies, giving them hope and an opportunity for a healthy future.
