About The Gary & Vivienne Player Foundation

The Gary and Vivienne Player Foundation continues the work and legacy of Gary and Vivienne Player who have affected positive change in the lives of vulnerable and underprivileged children around the world.

One in six children in the USaA live in poverty. Millions are reported neglected each year. The Foundation’s mission is to support organizations whose work positively impacts the lives of these vulnerable children. The vision of the Gary & Vivienne Player Foundation is inspired by research which proves that intergenerational poverty can be broken in three key ways - education, health and housing.

This Giving Tuesday, you can help us match donations made to Place of Hope, a center that fights cycles of generational abuse, neglect, poverty, homelessness, human trafficking, and despair. We will be matching donations up to $75,000. Every donation helps! Those who donate $500 or more will be entered into a raffle for a chance to play a round of golf with Gary Player.* Click here to donate online today!
