Battle for the Troops, Inc. started out as a open martial arts tournament with two important missions in mind, provide competitors, their families, and friends with a safe and fun competition experience while, at same time, raise raise money for veteran charities. Since our first event in 2015, we have donated over $3000 dollars 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 with the goal of becoming 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 the Midwest Shelter for Homeless Veterans. This is a great cause receiving 4-stars from Charitynavigator.org. For more information to to donate to them please find them at www.helpaveteran.org.
