I am competing in my first amateur MMA fight to help raise money for charity, while also transforming my life and proving to myself I can do hard things. All funds raised will be split equally amongst the following incredible nonprofits: St Jude Children's Hospital is an organization whose reputation speaks for itself. They're leading the way the world understands, treats and defeats childhood cancer and other life-threatening diseases. As a father of two precious children I pray never to experience that kind of pain, but I'm forever grateful that organizations like St. Jude exist to provide support when it's most needed. The First Step Foundation helps people with spinal cord, neurological, and related disorders regain movement and mobility by providing access to the BARWIS Neurological Reengineering elite recovery program via training scholarships. To date, their scholarships have helped over 30 people who have been told they would never walk again and rise back up on their feet. I'm grateful to be advising their board through an ad-hoc committee and training locally for my fight at BARWIS Colorado with professional MMA fighter Collin Anglin. Better Giving is the nonprofit I founded. We provide a free one-stop solution for nonprofits to fundraise, save, and invest. It's been my life's work over the past 4 years, and we've helped hundreds of organizations process over $6 million in donations. As a nonprofit ourselves, we provide our services for free and rely on donor contributions for support. Our best-in-class donation form accepts all types of donations (e.g. cash, bank, crypto, stock, DAF, Apple/Google/Paypal) while making fundraising simple and effective. Please help spread the word - we're always looking for new partners to onboard! I'm deeply grateful to Karate Combat and Influencer Fight Club for providing me with this life-changing opportunity. If you're curious about what compelled me to volunteer for such an intense experience with only 5 weeks to train, please follow along with my story: https://x.com/Chauncey_StJohn/status/1892116624750039260 Any support you're willing to provide would mean a lot to me, whether financially or simply by helping spread the word. When I get into the pit February 28th I'll be fighting for something bigger than myself, and I welcome you all to be part of the journey with me.
