Y’all, you gotta check out this jiu-jitsu based non-profit called Tap Cancer Out.  

Tap Cancer Out unites the Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu community and empowers competitors to fight for more than just points and medals - they fight for those who are in the fight of their lives—and they’re helping Alex's Lemonade Stand Foundation change the lives of children with cancer and their families by funding critical research grants and family services.  If you’re in the US, you can get involved through jiu-jitsu tournaments either competing or volunteering, as well as fundraise for TCO.  If you’re out of the US, you can still fundraise to benefit TCO, and you can get any of their super cool merch like rash guards, tees, hoodies, bags, and more.
