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 9th Annual Board Break-a-thon
Be The One Who...Breaks Boards
We had a goal of $10,000 and due to the overwhelming support we raised $11,801. Congrats and Thank You to everyone who helped make this year a success for our community. ​
​​
Our big goal this year is underwriting costs of suicide prevention training for some area Educators. Stay tuned for details.
​​​
A Big thank you to our GTMA Council/Senate Youth Leadership Team, our Instructors, and our friends at Impact 168 for helping make this event possible.
Plan to join us in Fall 2027 for the 10th Annual Board Break-a-thon
