Who We Are

WHAT WE BELIEVE

Black Belts should be allowed to continue the hard work of their youth and teens into college.

There should be a place for Martial Arts in Collegiate Sports.

Black Belts have character values and leadership skills that are essential to keeping America strong.

The opportunity for an education is essential to the pursuit of one's dreams.

Champions Education Fund is committed to seeing these dreams become reality.
