HOST A TOURNAMENT THAT CHANGES LIVES
Host a basketball tournament, volleyball night, or pickleball challenge — and turn entry fees into school fees for kids in Kenya.
WHY A TOURNAMENT?
Sports are one of the greatest rally points for young people.
A tournament captures everything that makes sports special — the energy, the competition, the fun, the community. And when you add a cause to it? People show up differently.
We've seen dozens of tournaments rally thousands of students to send kids to school who really need it.
Along the way, something happens to you too. You learn how to lead a team, inspire your friends, and pull off something that makes a real impact.
One tournament. Two transformations: Yours. And theirs.
HOW IT WORKS
STARTING A TOURNAMENT IS EASY
1. PLAN YOUR EVENT
Pick your sport. Choose a date. Give it a name. We'll give you a step-by-step planning guide and walk you through everything — venue, teams, entry fees, and how to make it a day people talk about for years.
2. RALLY YOUR PEOPLE
Tell your team. Tell your school. Tell your coach, your parents, your group chat. The more people you invite in, the bigger the impact. You'd be surprised how fast a community shows up when a student leads the charge.
3. WATCH YOUR IMPACT
100% of every dollar you raise goes directly to sending kids in Kenya to school. We'll show you exactly what your tournament made possible — the kids whose lives are different because you decided to do something.

A Step-by-Step Planning Guide
We've hosted dozens of tournaments. We took everything we learned and put it into a guide built specifically for student-led events — venue checklist, team sign-up templates, how to price entry fees, how to promote it. Everything you need in one place.
A Free 6-Part Video Series
Nick walks you through the entire process on YouTube. From "I want to do something" to "we actually pulled it off." Six videos you can watch with your team, on your own schedule, for free.
Direct Support from our JamQuest Coaches
When you sign up, Nick and our JQ coaches connect with you personally. If you get stuck, have questions, or just need someone to think through your plan with — he's there. You're not doing this alone.
TOURNAMENTS CAN CHANGE LIVES
In Kenya, some kids can't go to school because their family can't afford the fees.
Not because they don't want to learn. Not because there's no school nearby. Just because no one has the money.
Just $1 a day. That's all it takes to send a child to school for an entire year.
$360. One kid. One year. A completely different future.
We've sent dozens of kids to school because of tournaments just like yours. They'll never know your name. But their lives are different because you showed up.
That's what your tournament is for.

You've got the sport. You've got the crew. We've got everything else.
