Team Darfur calls for a celebration of the Olympic spirit, not a boycott.
Team Darfur co-founder Joey Cheek was able to raise over one million dollars for children in Darfur in 2006 by donating his medal bonuses to relief in Darfur, and encouraging other athletes and sponsors to do the same. Joey also helped Darfur get much needed media attention when Darfur was rarely covered by the press. By attending the Olympics and speaking about Darfur, Joey was able to do much more for Darfur than he would have been able to by boycotting the games.
