No thanksThird Ward Jiu-Jitsu hasn't added a story.
My name is Andrew Degar, and I am a Founder of the Houston, TX nonprofit (501(c)(3)), Third Ward Jiu-Jitsu. Our mission is to provide affordable self-defense to the Third Ward community, an area with a high violent crime rate. We will have classes focused on children, women, and the LGBTQ community. There is currently no jiu-jitsu or self-defense based groups within the Third Ward, and no groups that offer affordable lessons for those less fortunate members of the Third Ward.
The funds raised with this campaign will cover all costs associated with opening and retaining a location. We are currently working with Houston-based foundations, as well as a gi company, to raise funds and obtain equipment. We will be renting a location for our first year, as we build our new site in 2020. Funds will help cover these costs, as well as instructors, supplies, and management.
We are using this platform to reach the jiu-jitsu community and others. Your donations will be giving the gift of jiu-jitsu. If you can not give at this time, please share this page with others to help spread the word of our mission!
We will be updating this site, as well as our social medias, to make our announcements. Be on the lookout for the announcing of our gi partnership, location, charity drive, and our grand opening date!
