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.
The 8th Annual Board Break-a-thon will be in Fall 2025.
LTMA Students (youth & adults) can register to participate and break boards.
​
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). Funds raised will be used to provide suicide & bullying prevention training and resources in our communities.
​
We're excited to partner with Impact 168 They are based here in Lincoln (and have some LTMA connections) 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!

Bringing Speak Life End Bullying The Musical to our communities
​
One of many ways our Board Breaks are benefiting our communities. We are working with local schools and organizations to continue to put this life-saving program and message in front of more youth.
