WELCOME TO THE 2024 GUANA GAMES

Presented by the The Dalton Group

MAY 3rd - MAY 5th 2024

HOW IT WORKS

When teams register for a Gauna Games event, they choose a charity or school for their funds to support. All registration fees collected for a sport are awarded to the charity or school selected by the winning team. Additionally, any remaining sponsorship funds are distributed equally among the participating schools and charities to ensure widespread support.

WHY AND HOW

At Gauna Games, we believe in the power of community and the impact of collective action. That's why we offer you the opportunity to become legendary within your community through friendly competition.

CHOOSE YOUR CAUSE

Choose a charity or school to support with your winnings. Opt for something that resonates with you or aids a local institution. Our website lists eligible organizations for informed decision-making. Make your victory meaningful by selecting a cause that speaks to your heart.

COMPETE WITH PURPOSE

Every point you earn on the field or court goes beyond your team—it supports your chosen cause. Engage in the game with the knowledge that your success contributes to positive change. Let each victory on your path to triumph stand for something greater.

CHAMPION CHANGE

Winning isn't just personal; it's for a cause. When your team wins, registration fees aid your selected charity or school, amplifying your impact. Triumph in your sport means more when it champions the change you wish to see, benefiting the community at large.

NEW KIND OF CHEER

Gauna Games turns adult competition into community support. Cheer not just for the youth in your life but engage in contests that offer tangible aid. Compete to make a difference, uplifting local charities or schools through your participation and victories.

NATIONAL PARTERNSHIP

For the purpose of transparency and accountability, all funds raised by Gauna Games are collected by our NGO partner, Asociacion De Desarrollo Integral De Tamarindo (ADIT). ADIT is responsible for distributing the funds to each organization. The disbursement is based on the submission of an invoice for a specific project that aligns with their stated needs, ensuring that the vendor providing the necessary service or resource is directly paid by ADIT. This meticulous process ensures that all funds raised directly benefit local public schools and charities in the Guanacaste region of Costa Rica.
