DESCRIPTION
Established in 2019, The FIVE FORWARD Foundation is a Non Profit Organization that focuses on improving quality of life through the balance of community, Jiu Jitsu, and continued education through charitable services.
MISSION STATEMENT
Through the transformative power of Jiu-Jitsu, the Five Forward Foundation empowers individuals and builds bridges within our community, igniting positive change. We achieve this by:
-
Providing essential support: Delivering charitable services to meet the basic needs of those struggling in our community.
-
Empowering through Martial Arts: Integrating Martial Arts, with a focus on Jiu-Jitsu, into our programs to cultivate self-confidence, discipline, and physical well-being, particularly for at-risk youth. Martial Arts provide a unique pathway to develop these essential life skills in a safe and supportive environment.
-
Mentoring future leaders: Pairing experienced Jiu-Jitsu practitioners with at-risk youth to provide guidance, support, and a positive role model on their educational journeys.
-
Fostering a strong community: Building bridges and connections within the community through shared experiences and camaraderie within the Jiu-Jitsu program.
-
Investing in the future: Equipping future college goers with the educational guidance and resources they need to thrive.
By harnessing the unique potential of Jiu-Jitsu, the Five Forward Foundation empowers individuals to overcome challenges, build self-belief, and achieve their full potential, propelling both individuals and our entire community forward.
We do this by the following:
FIVE GRAPPLING, LLC donates $3.00 for every paid registration that competes in their organization and tournaments to help .
- FIVES-Giving is an annual Thanksgiving Event where we cook for families in need.
- FIVE-O'Claus is an annual event where we collect funds to help at risk teens during the holiday season.
