Several high-profile athletes and sports executives came up with an idea for an initiative that would see athletes & sports personalities come together to fight Antisemitism. Over time, and while still not losing focus on its original goal, the idea expanded to include many other allies from different cultures, faiths and backgrounds. From there, Unity Through Sport was established. It was formed to be an organization that would aim to unite people, instead of dividing them further, with the key understanding that when athletes stand together, no community stands alone.
