UFC ANNOUNCES CHARITABLE PARTNERSHIP WITH 4OCEAN
Partnership Includes Launch of First-Ever ‘Fight For The Ocean’ Sweepstakes
UFC, the world’s premier mixed martial arts organization, today announced a charitable partnership with 4ocean, the world’s leading ocean cleanup company, to further the organization’s mission to end the ocean plastic crisis.
The partnership, which launches in conjunction with Earth Day 2024, kicks off the first Fight For The Ocean sweepstakes, where fans enter to win a VIP trip to the UFC event of their choice and meet UFC President & CEO Dana White.
Based on the estimates from 4ocean, each dollar raised funds the removal of one pound of trash from the ocean. 100% of all proceeds raised from the campaign will benefit continuous ocean cleanups around the world through the 4ocean Foundation, which is a global non-profit organization that employs and empowers local communities to help end the ocean plastic crisis.
Fans can enter the campaign online at Fight For The Ocean with a minimum donation of $1 for one entry, up to $100 or more for multiple entries. Fans can also enter the campaign with a mail-in entry.

“We are incredibly stoked to be partnering with UFC to make a huge difference in the ocean plastic crisis,” said Alex Schulze, CEO and Co-founder of 4ocean. “Since 2017, we’ve been working with dedicated companies and individuals like Dana White to pull over 35 million pounds of trash from our oceans, rivers, and coastlines. Partnerships like these have a massive impact on the ocean plastic crisis and help us drive our mission forward.”
The campaign will conclude on September 21, which is recognized as International Coastal Cleanup Day. At the conclusion of the sweepstakes, a winner will be randomly selected as the grand prize winner of two tickets to attend any UFC event of their choice through 2025. The campaign will also have an early bird grand prize each month for one winner who has entered. Each monthly winner will receive a UFC legacy championship replica mini desktop belt courtesy of UFCStore.com.
UFC and 4ocean will also unveil a branded bracelet series later this year, with proceeds benefitting ocean cleanups. The bracelets will be available for sale online at UFCStore.com and select events.
