Since 2005, The Beachbody Foundation has donated over $1M to GO Campaign to fight poverty and inequality faced by vulnerable children across the globe.
Each year since GO’s inception, the Beachbody Foundation has worked with GO Campaign to identify and address critical issues and greatest needs for at-risk children where our funds can have the most impact. Together we have:

- Established a computer lab and IT training for child refugees in Indonesia.
