The Imran Jaffer Foundation is pleased to announce that it has entered into a partnership with the Aga Khan Youth and Sports Board, Ontario effective 7th June, 2023. This collaboration and partnership enables a joint annual Gold Cup Soccer Tournament. The first joint tournament was held in Toronto on 1st and 2nd July 2023. The tournament was held at the Ontario Soccer Centre and at the Hangar. There were 57 teams with 700 soccer players from the ages of 12 - 70 years. The Imran Jaffer Foundation sponsored the trophies and had a booth attracting hundreds of soccer supporters to enter a raffle and spin the wheel with prizes and fun for all. This was a successful community event bringing people together and created friendships, resilience, teamwork, leadership and support for players and their families. The top two teams were as follows;
Ever since Imran Jaffer was eight years old, he has been philanthropic and one area he has supported is the World Partnership Walk, organized by the Aga Khan Foundation Canada. Funds raised by the WPW are utilized to fight global poverty in the developing countries largely in Africa and Asia. Poverty is tackled from many fronts: to improve the quality of life for women, children and youth to improve access to housing, education, health, sanitation, water and increasing food security. All to create economic opportunities for men and women and youth and build strong, resilient communities.
Imran always had a team to raise funds at the World Partnership Walk, Walk with Imran. He has taken pride in being part of such an initiative to make an impact in improving the quality of lives of youth in Africa and Asia. To continue his legacy, the Imran Jaffer Foundation has kept Imran’s team alive and proudly donated $10,000.00 in December 2021 to support this noble cause. Due to the pandemic, the physical walk did not take place and in its place there was a virtual youth musical bash organized by the WPW to raise funds by different teams. The video below shows some highlights of the donation from Walk with Imran team, through the Imran Jaffer Foundation.
