Support Us
You can support the efforts of the Desert Sport Foundation in 3 ways:
Make a Donation
Sport is such an important vehicle in educating young people about life and its many challenges. We believe it is an absolute must that Central Australian kids are given the opportunity to benefit from those learnings through competing at higher levels outside of Alice Springs. Through becoming gracious and strong winners or perhaps learning about how to deal loss, our belief is these opportunities will create young leaders and wonderful community people. You can contribute to this project today and claim a tax deduction on any donation over $2.
You can now donate directly via the Australian Sports Foundation.
