Ethan Zohn

Ethan Zohn is a humanitarian, inspirational speaker, and television host; former professional soccer player; cancer survivor and advocate; winner of the hit reality television show, CBS’s Survivor: Africa, author and inventor; and co-founder of Grassroot Soccer.

Winning Survivor Africa’s $1 million prize was the springboard to an exceptional life of entrepreneurship, social purpose, and advocacy. It was also the prelude to an incredible story, one of perseverance, accomplishment, and enduring spirit in the face of once unthinkable challenges. While helping to launch Grassroot Soccer programs that would educate 25 million youth in 65 countries, Ethan was diagnosed not once, but twice with CD20+ Hodgkin’s Lymphoma and endured aggressive treatment, including two stem cell transplants. He has found purpose through his humanitarian work and community involvement, and believes that a better and healthier world can be achieved through education, advocacy, connection to social good through sport.
