Battle for the Troops, Inc. started as an open martial arts tournament with two important missions in mind: to provide competitors, their families, and friends with a safe and fun competition experience while, at the same time, raise raise money for veteran charities. Since our first event in 2015, we have donated over $3000 to veteran charities. Battle for the Troops has slowly grown in its popularity, becoming an annual tradition for many in the martial arts community.

 

In 2024, we have taken the next step in our journey by incorporating Battle of the Troops as a business organization to become a 501c3 non-profit organization, thus allowing us to expand its reach and ability to support veteran charities nationwide.

​

This year we will be working with Tunnels to Towers and Midwest Shelter for Homeless Veterans. These are great causes, both receiving 4 stars from Charitynavigator.org.
