On the Ball Events
What are On The Ball (OTB) Events?
A fun and easy way to support AOTB and Be Part of our Dream and Part of our Team, is to set up a fundraising football event such as a fun 5-a-side tournament that could have categories for age (including walking!), ability and gender.
However, you could set up any event or challenge and try to add up your kilometers as a team with your friends and raise vital money for AOTB. You can enter teams of up to 10 players for an entry fee of £ 50/team paid directly here.
Accumulate kms by walking, running, cycling beforehand and help your organisation complete the total kms from your location to Lusaka, Zambia (can be tracked on Strava linked to Justgiving fundraising pages)
