Swimming with Purpose

About Us
DeadFish Foundation

DeadFish Foundation is a U.S.-based nonprofit organization dedicated to supporting children’s education and community development in Vietnam through endurance sports and community-driven initiatives.

Founded by athletes and volunteers, DeadFish believes that sport can be a powerful force for good — building discipline, resilience, and connection while creating real, measurable impact for underserved communities.

Every kilometer completed by our community helps turn effort into opportunity for children.
