How It all started
In the wake of the August 4th blast, 19.8 was born - igniting global unity through a sports challenge that united 400 unstoppable challengers that moved with purpose, raising $90,838 to rebuild Beirut and restore hope. 19.8 km² is the area of our capital Beirut!
The second edition brought forth even greater strength! 795 participants raised $61,000 for mental health in schools, supporting medical institutions, and revitalizing our cherished heritage. Again, we proved that together we can heal wounds and restore communities.
Our community continues to flourish, with 1,092 passionate participants uniting for the vibrant third edition of the challenge. Together, we raised $52,686, to install renewable energy in a local hospital, providing access to healthcare to those in need. Read more about The Together LiBeirut Health Fund here.
