Game Changer: Alcaraz’s Mission for Inclusion

The foundation, headquartered in his hometown of El Palmar in Murcia, is spearheaded by Carlos Alcaraz himself, with his parents, Carlos Alcaraz Sr. and Virginia Garfia, playing key roles as vice president and board member, respectively. The foundation’s mission revolves around three core principles: promoting inclusion through sports, enhancing the physical and mental well-being of children, and raising awareness about the challenges they face and potential solutions.

The idea for the foundation traces back to a conversation between Carlos Alcaraz Sr. and his son following his historic victory at the 2022 US Open, where he became the youngest-ever number-one player.

The foundation’s inaugural project, aptly named ‘Vamos,’ (Let’s Go) focuses on empowering vulnerable children, starting with the Los Rosales neighbourhood in El Palmar. The foundation aims to promote social inclusion by offering sports activities and teaching social skills to overcome barriers to participation.

With six dedicated staff members and numerous collaborators, including Alcaraz himself as president, the foundation is poised to make a tangible difference in the lives of disadvantaged children. Alcaraz’s recent visit to Los Rosales School highlights the personal connection he seeks to establish with the communities the foundation serves.
