How your gift works

From a gift to a start line

Support reaches athletes as approved expenses: entry fees paid, shoes bought, a bus seat booked, a physio appointment covered. Here is the path it takes.

01 / Give

You give

Monthly or one time. Recurring gifts are the most useful, because seasons are planned months ahead.

02 / Equip

We equip

Shoes, entry fees, local transport, coaching, and medical care through our clinic partners in Oaxaca.

03 / Compete

They compete

Athletes train and race, and several have gone on to coach and lead programs of their own.

Where the money goes

Honest about the money

100% of designated donations received by Oax Sport fund approved expenses for the selected athlete, team, program, or project. Running experiences and unrestricted donations help cover operating costs and other areas of greatest need.

The roster runs the programs

  • Eddi Pérez Silva went from director to coach and facility operator.
  • Rosalino Meneses López was a Clase A athlete and now works on staff as Athlete Relations Manager.
  • Juan Zurita Victoria was a Clase B athlete and now runs running tours alongside programs and operations.
