The Bob and Rita Marley Foundation Relief Fund
From the island that gave the world legends, resilience, and rhythm — Jamaica now needs our help. In the aftermath of Hurricane Melissa, many families across the island are facing severe loss and devastation. Homes have been destroyed, communities flooded, and thousands are in need of urgent assistance to rebuild their lives.
UFC Fighter Aljamain “Funk Master” Sterling, proudly representing his Jamaican heritage, is partnering with the Bob and Rita Marley Foundation to launch the Bob and Rita Marley Foundation Relief Fund — a united effort to bring essential resources, rebuilding aid, and hope to communities affected by Hurricane Melissa. Every dollar raised on this fundraiser will be delivered to trusted organizations and local response efforts throughout Jamaica.
This is more than a fundraiser — it’s a movement built on the Jamaican spirit of One Love and strength through unity.
Who’s Involved:
- Aljamain Sterling — UFC Fighter and proud Jamaican-American champion using his platform to uplift the island that raised his roots.
- The Bob & Rita Marley Foundation and Marley Family — continuing the legacy of love, peace, and empowerment through community upliftment.
How You Can Help:
Every contribution, big or small, makes an impact. The biggest long term problem will be displacement through lack of roof covering and 100% of the proceeds raised will go towards relief efforts. The Bob & Rita Marley Foundation will be:
- Providing emergency supplies for families impacted by Hurricane Melissa such as clothing & personal hygiene items
- Supporting local rebuilding and housing efforts, including: Supplying roofing kits to homeowners. These kits include zinc, lumber, and all other necessary materials (nails, screws, etc) as well as a technician to install the roof. Each kit costs US$3,800 and we will work closely with our partners to ensure fair distribution across all those in need.
Jamaica has given the world so much — music, champions, and culture that moves hearts everywhere. Now it’s time for us to give back. Let’s stand together as one global family to bring relief, recovery, and renewed strength to the island we love.
One Love. One Mission. One Jamaica.
