Brazilian athletes can register, advertise their next athletic goal on social media, as well as use email and other tools offered by MAKEACHAMP. With the support of their crowd, they can then fund their next national or international competitions. This revolutionary fundraising platform has been transforming the way champions and athletes are competing in North America and Europe and is now available in Latin America’s biggest nation. Brazilians can back their favorite athletes in Reais, with Boleto Bancário or other local payements systems such as Brazilian cards.
