The CHAMPS Foundation, an acronym for Caring, Helping, Assisting, Motivating, Promoting Sportspersons, has spread its canvass.

In the words of Indian cricket legend Sunil Gavaskar, who started CHAMPS in 1999, “so far, the Foundation could act only if it got to know through the media about a former India sportsperson who was struggling. We didn’t have a regularly operated website but now that we have one, hopefully, it can reach out to those who are under the radar and vice-versa. There is a desire to reach out and help ease in a little way the retired lives of our Internationals.”
