Make an Impact This Memorial Day In Support of We Defy Foundation
Come join 925 Jiu Jitsu this Memorial Day weekend for our Ruck & Roll event in support of the mission of the We Defy Foundation! We Defy provides combat veterans coping with military connected disabilities a long term means to overcome their challenges through Jiu-Jitsu.
It costs $2,500 on average to fund a single veteran scholarship. This includes academy fees as well as uniform costs. Jiu-Jitsu has been shown to be an effective altrenative therapy for veterans suffering from PTSD, Anxiety, and Depression. Through the process of training Jiu-Jitsu, veterans have a mechanism to reconnect to society, join a welcoming and familiar community, and ultimately better cope with their military-connected disabilities.
We will be hosting an Open Mat on Sunday, May 24th from 10 AM - noon.
Here's how you can help:
Donate: Contribute what you can to help us reach our goal of sponsoring a veteran with a year of Jiu-Jitsu training.
Show Up: Join us on the mat or join us at the academy to show your support.
Spread the Word: Share our fundraising page with your friends, family, and social networks. Let’s spread awareness so we can raise more!
We appreciate your time and support! We look forward to seeing you at our Open Mat!
