Board Break-a-thon
In 2017 the Longoria's Family lost one of our own students to Suicide. Through the pain of the loss we decided to raise awareness among our Instructors - training them to know what to look for and the resources available to get help for someone in need.
​
We then created the Board Break-a-thon as a way the martial arts community could come together to support each other and raise awareness and funds for prevention.
​
We hope you'll join us in supporting and sponsoring our students as they participate in the next Board Break-a-thon for bullying & suicide prevention awareness for both youth and adults impacted in our community.
The 8th Annual Board Break-a-thon will be on Sunday, September 28, 2025 @ 1:00 PM
at Gateway Mall , Lincoln, NE
LTMA Students (youth & adults) and friends can register to participate and break boards.
​
LTMA Students - Registered Participants are asked to get family, friends, co-workers, or whoever to sponsor them. We suggest something like $1/board (hint; everyone will break 10 boards).
​
Friends of LTMA/Guests - With a minimum donation of $10 you are invited this year to break an actual wood board. You'll get to take your board home and help support important efforts in your community.
​
We're excited to partner with Impact 168 They are based here in Lincoln, and provide a variety of Leadership Training, Coaching & Speaking. Their partnership with Speak Life, End Bullying The Musical will be instrumental in how we use funds raised from this year's event.
Help us reach our goal of $10,000.00 this year!
