Supporting rising stars in australian sport

Belief.
Confidence.
Resilience.

One Adventure At A Time.
Too many talented young athletes drop out of sport just as they need its benefits most. The Uqasha Imran Foundation exists to make sure that never has to happen.

About Us

Uqasha believed every young athlete deserves the chance to become
Who They're Meant to Be

Uqasha Imran was 22 years old, full of life, talent and passion, when she was tragically killed in a motorbike accident in 2024. She believed deeply that sport had the power to shape character, build resilience, and unlock potential in young people. In her memory, her family established the Uqasha Imran Foundation — not out of grief alone, but out of a determination to carry her spirit forward through every young athlete the Foundation supports.
