This Memorial Day, make a difference. 

We Defy exists to provide combat veterans support through Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu. The only way we achieve our mission is with the support of our community. Will you help us put one more veteran on the mats this May? 
 

Host a Ruck & Roll Fundraiser in 3 Simple Steps

1. Third Party Agreement - If you haven’t already, please complete the quick and easy Third Party Agreement. This outlines what it means to host an event on behalf of We Defy. (If you're here, you probably already did this! If not, use the "Complete your TPA" button on the left)
    
2. Event Registration - Use the "Register Now" button to tell us about your event! Hosting an event makes you a team captain—your gym, ruck club, or community group becomes a team of We Defy fundraisers. **After registration, you’ll get a team fundraising link to share with friends, family, and supporters on and off the mats.**
    
3. Share your fundraising page and event with your community! You can host an open mat, roll-a-thon, team ruck, seminar...the options are endless. Every event - big or small - makes a difference to provide our veteran athlete scholarships! 

Do you believe in the mission?
