Impact Games India Plans Mumbai Sports Drive For Charity

The event is open to children, older adults and people who have not played sports for many years.
It is designed for participation, not only for expert athletes.
Organisers expect more than 5,000 people to join.
The Games will take place at venues across Mumbai.
All net money raised will go to verified charitable causes.

Impact Games India will hold more than 15 sporting disciplines across Mumbai over multiple weekends in October.
Organisers expect more than 5,000 participants across team, racket and mind sports.
The event will welcome people of different ages and abilities, including noncompetitive and returning players.

“Even if you're 50-plus, you can still participate. There are people who come to us and say that they've not played a sport for 10 or 15 years. Now's the time to pick up that racket and test your skills.”

“This is the uniqueness of this platform. It's not a tournament per se. It's multiple opportunities to participate, engage and take something away from it.”
