Baazi Sports Foundation - A Step Towards the Future
By Baazi Games
As an organization that is always high on its sporting spirit, encouraging children to excel and pursue physical sports as a career is something that is very close to our hearts. At Baazi Games, we truly believe that physical sports contribute to cognitive functioning, such as developing leadership qualities, teamwork and sportsmanship, thereby providing opportunities for personal growth and development. Recently Baazi Sports Foundation, in association with PokerBaazi, joined hands with Edspectrum Foundation to provide a level playing field to children as they explore, experience, and gain exposure to multifarious sports. In line with the government's vision of 'Khelo India' for the youth, Baazi Sports Foundation intends to support 20 children through a fellowship program that entails bearing any monetary support for their journey of sports training.
Project the Power of Periods
By Baazi Games
On Children's Day, we continued our initiative of promoting menstrual health and hygiene amongst adolescent girls in India. We make conscious efforts to spread awareness about simple and sustainable practices to maintain menstrual hygiene. The donation of reusable/eco-friendly sanitary pads and arrangement of an educational session to combat the myth against Periods were steps in the direction of equipping the girls with the knowledge of making the right decisions about menstrual health and hygiene.
Break The Bias
By Baazi Games
On the occasion of Women's Day, as part of Baazi Sports Foundation, our female colleagues decided to invest their time in educating girls of class 6th from Sarvodaya Kanya Vidyalaya, Badarpur about menstrual hygiene and the use of sanitary pads. Carrying forward the initiative of #BreakTheBias by the IWD, Baazi Games was instrumental in celebrating Women's Day in the noblest of manners. The activities included spending time with the girls making them aware of the initiative, hand-painting, making fun drawings around #BreakTheBias and uplifting the spirit of womanhood.

A hero in need is a hero indeed
By Baazi Games
The novel COVID-19 pandemic shook the world leaving millions scrambling. The nationwide lockdown implemented for everyone's safety remained a constant battle between live and livelihood. Several daily wage workers unfortunately faced the brunt of the pandemic as they battled for their lives and livelihood. Team BalleBaazi joined hands with GiveIndia to provide for our daily heros with the essentials they need. Titled 'A Hero in need', the player community sourced campaign witnessed BalleBaazi coins turn into valuable donations to distribute masks and meals to the less fortunate as well.
Covid19 Relief
By Baazi Games
With the nation going into a 21-day lockdown, daily wage workers such as street hawkers, rickshaw pullers, rag pickers as well as individuals who lost their jobs were left without a source of income. We joined the cause with the Delhi Youth Welfare Association to help those in need and to ensure everyone got their daily meals and essential supplies. PokerBaazi's flagship tournament, the PMVS Special Edition Main Event was the pillar behind this initiative, as the tournament fee was used as a contribution towards the cause. We got our community of poker players to be aware of the cause through our social media channels. Their participation cemented our solidarity towards the cause.
Khushi
By Baazi Games
In our efforts to uplift the lives of underprivileged girl-children, Baazi Games joined hands with a non-profit organization, KHUSHII. In April 2019, we sponsored tuition fees, uniforms, mid-day meals and books for 40 girl-children for a year. The benevolent contributions were gathered during PokerBaazi's Flagship event - PokerBaazi Premier League (PPL) Special Edition. The event continues to run on our poker platform and we were able to make a difference to 40 girls through our Independence Day charity events on PokerBaazi.com, BalleBaazi.com & RummyBaazi.com. We hope to reach more girls with this cause that remains close to our heart. If you wish to be a part of this program, kindly email us at info@baazigames.com.
