In Loving Memory of Joseph Oyebog

It is with profound sadness that we share the heartbreaking news that Joseph Oyebog passed away on Tuesday, May 27th, in Cameroon, Africa. Joseph's journey was filled with purpose and love, but ended far too soon. Despite our efforts to bring him back to the U.S. for urgent medical treatment, his body could no longer fight.

As we grieve this unimaginable loss, we also celebrate the powerful legacy he leaves behind.

For over 25 years, he poured his heart, soul, and every resource he had into building the Oyebog Tennis Academy (OTA) in Cameroon (www.otatennis.org). The tens of thousands of students he lifted are a living testament to the impact one man can make.

Thank you to everyone who has donated, shared, and supported Joseph on this journey. Your kindness meant the world to him; now, it means everything to those he leaves behind.

We are keeping this campaign open to honor Joseph’s memory. The funds raised will cover the remaining medical and funeral expenses, support his family during this difficult time, and ensure the continued operation of the Oyebog Tennis Academy—his life’s work.

*The Board of the Oyebog Tennis Academy, a registered 501(c) (3) non-profit charitable organization in the United States, which is collecting these funds on behalf of the OTA, will directly wire the money to the academy in Cameroon for these purposes.

We’ll share more about ways to carry Joseph’s mission forward and honor his towering legacy.
