Sports have always been more than competition, they unite people, inspire communities, and create opportunities for change. At aidbees, we believe sports can be a powerful platform to channel this energy into meaningful social impact.
Through partnerships with marathons and other sporting events, we bring together corporates, NGOs, and individuals to support causes that matter. By integrating philanthropy into sports, every step run, every kilometer covered, and every effort made contributes to building a stronger, kinder society.
From raising funds for education, healthcare, and child welfare to supporting community development, sports philanthropy transforms passion into purpose. It enables companies to engage their employees in giving back, empowers NGOs with resources, and inspires individuals to become changemakers.
At aidbees, we are proud to drive this movement, making philanthropy an integral part of India’s biggest sporting events. Together, we turn sporting spirit into social good.
aidbees has been actively associated with philanthropy since 2023, playing a vital role in integrating social impact with major marathons.
We are proud to have led the philanthropy initiatives for:
