| Be Part of a First for Our Academy—and a Dream Come True for Our Youth Athletes.
This May, for the first time ever, young athletes from our academy will be competing overseas at the prestigious IBJJF European Championships in Rome. This marks an incredible milestone - not only for our competitors, but for our entire community.
We’ve helped students thrive through local, provincial, national, and U.S.-based tournaments, and now, they’ll be stepping onto one of the biggest international stages in Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu. Their dedication to training, their love for the sport, and their commitment to personal growth have brought them this far - and now, we’re rallying behind them to go even further.
How You Can Help
Make a Donation
You can make a direct contribution of any amount to help offset travel, registration, and accommodation costs for our youth competitors. Every dollar goes directly toward supporting the athletes. No amount is too small, and every bit counts.
Prefer to donate in person? Donations can also be made at the academy or at our upcoming events.
Participate in or Donate to the Online Auction
From April 11 to May 11, we’re running a special online auction featuring items from local businesses, services, gym packages, and more!
You can get involved in two ways:
- Bid on great items and experiences—all proceeds go directly to the team
- Donate an item or service to be auctioned (gift cards, experiences, merchandise, etc.)
All auction donors will be recognized online and at the academy throughout the campaign.
Sponsorship
We’re also inviting businesses, organizations, and families in our community to join us as Road to Rome Sponsors. Your support helps cover the cost of travel, tournament registration, coaching, etc. - and in return, you’ll receive meaningful recognition and be part of something truly special.
