Calabar Marathon & Carnival Race Foundation is a not for profit, non-governmental organization set up with the desire of contributing to the growth and learning processes of young people by using sports education & events to heighten the rate of support for all highly vulnerable young people, educationally less privileged, needy and deprived children and youths with disabilities.

What we do

We strive for a cause

We believe that all children & youths in the world have a right to survive, to grow appropriately, to learn and be educated properly, and to accomplish their life dreams, expectations and opportunities to the gain of our society.

Like George Santayana, we believe that ‘a child educated only at school is an uneducated child’.

Know More

Our motive?

The foundation is simply a sport-for-youth-development organization designed to redefine the future of ‘deprived’ children and youths.

As the Youth Development Committee of the Lilly Endowment Foundation Incorporated rightly noted (Pittman, June 1991): “Youth development ought not to be viewed as a happenstance matter. While children & youths can, and often do, make the best of difficult circumstances, they cannot be sustained and helped to grow by chance arrangements or makeshift events.

Something far more intentional is required: a place, a league, a form of association, a gathering of people where value is placed on continuity, predictability, history, tradition, and a chance to test out new behaviors.”

Why join us?

To function successfully in the adult world, youths will benefit from opportunities presented through creative sport projects and programs adopted by the foundation.
We prepare youths for maturity through experiential methods of learning which are often commonly used in our programs in sports settings.

We understand the travails confronting youths in Nigeria and Africa, a horrible state of deprivation where children and youths suffer all manner of neglect, disadvantages, and vulnerability and underprivileged situations.

What we do:

Train and Build

We believe lasting transformation begins with intentional development. Through our training, we equip individuals with practical skills, leadership values, and personal development opportunities while using sports and community outreaches as platforms to inspire growth, build character, and empower people to become positive agents of change in their communities.

Club & Play

Club & Play is a dynamic platform that uses sports and recreational activities to inspire, educate, and empower children and young people. Beyond the games, we create safe spaces where participants build confidence, develop teamwork and leadership skills, foster healthy relationships, and receive mentorship and life-changing support. Through every match and activity, we promote inclusion, positive values, and stronger, more connected communities.

Make Charitable Giving

Charitable giving is at the heart of our mission. Through sports initiatives and community outreaches, we provide support, hope, and essential resources to vulnerable individuals and underserved communities. By connecting compassion with action, we inspire generosity, promote inclusion, and create lasting positive impact where it is needed most.

Support & Volunteer Services

We believe lasting impact is achieved through service and collaboration. Our Support & Volunteer Services provide individuals, organizations, and communities with opportunities to contribute their time, skills, and resources toward meaningful causes. Through coordinated volunteer initiatives, community outreaches, and sports-driven engagement, we foster compassion, promote social inclusion, and empower people to become active agents of positive change.

Youth Mobilization

At the heart of our mission is youth mobilization—bringing young people together, inspiring them to become agents of positive change, and creating opportunities for meaningful engagement. Through sports, community outreaches, mentorship, and empowerment initiatives, we equip youths with the values, skills, and confidence to lead, serve, and make lasting contributions to their communities. By fostering unity, teamwork, and purpose, we are raising a generation committed to building a better future.

Consulting & Promotion

We provide strategic consulting and promotional support for sports, community development, and social impact initiatives. By leveraging our expertise, partnerships, and media networks, we help organizations, brands, and community projects increase visibility, engage the right audiences, and create meaningful, measurable impact. Our approach combines innovation, advocacy, and effective communication to ensure every initiative achieves its intended goals while fostering sustainable community development.

International Relations

We foster meaningful international relationships by partnering with global organizations, development agencies, sports institutions, and humanitarian networks to promote community development and social impact. Through these collaborations, we facilitate cultural exchange, knowledge sharing, volunteer engagement, and strategic partnerships that expand opportunities for youth empowerment, sports development, education, and community outreach, while strengthening our contribution to sustainable development locally and internationally.
