Project Overview
A new home for the global sports charity - that celebrates sport as a force for good.
Laureus is a global organisation that promotes the power of sport as a means of bringing people together to improve the lives of children and young people around the world.
Delete's key objective was to consolidate the three Laureus websites and fundamental parts of the organisation into a unified, modern brand platform that better expresses and communicates who Laureus are and what they do. And, as a result, raise awareness of Laureus and 'Laureus Sport for Good', drive more engagement, interactions and donations.

Features
Highlighting worthwhile causes across the globe.
The Laureus Sport for Good programmes are transforming children's lives across the globe.
