Welcome to The Fighters Foundation. My Name is Steve Steenback, Founder and President of this non profit organization and I need your help .
The Fighters Foundation is raising money to fund Martial Art Schools (Karate, Kung Fu, Kickboxing etc.) and Boxing Gym’s around the country. So they can have free programs for Men, Women, Kids, and Teens, in other words EVERYBODY. I want to make it possible for you to just walk into a Gym or Dojo, and take lessons FOR FREE ! Just Imagine a Free Education in the Martial Arts/Boxing or Kickboxing. For Those Who Want It….
I would like to get kids off the street and give them a place to go where they can learn and have fun. Provide self-defense lessons for men and women to help them improve self confidence, health, fitness, motivation and an overall positive attitude in every part of their lives. Eventually in addition to the schools/gyms that will be funded I also want to construct free gyms around the Country.
There are a lot of places that corporate gyms and the aspiring business owner will not go because there is no money in it. From a business stand point I understand that but that still does not mean that people in the community have to go without. I have also noticed that It costs more to eat healthy than eat fast food and yet our taxes go to people that have committed crimes allowing them to work out for free and eat for free in our correctional system…..
If no gym/school or dojo want to participate then when I have the funding I Will Fund Indavidual people who want to learn for up to one year.. If they want to continue then that will depend on their commitment and meet qualifications for more funding .
Over the years I have trained with good kids, along with men and women who were doing so well, and then what happened ? They could not afford it anymore. Then what ? Some never came back; some got in trouble and lost their way. I am not saying that I can fix all that. But I sure can try !
These Big corporate giants who make tons of money brag that they help charities but yet you see them promote the race car they are sponsoring or that huge sports arena they just built way more.
Now yes I will have a few standards for the Gym/Schools to follow as well as the students who will be attending these classes. All the answers will be in the Q and A section….
I would like to stress at this time your Donations ARE NOT TAX DEDUCTIBLE ! However we have just started this charity and are in the process of sending in our tax exemption 501(c)(3)
But for right now every little bit helps a dollar here a dollar there it all adds up , and this will one day benefit you, your children, brother, sister and the list goes on !
I want to provide funding for at least two years a school/gym it is going to be an estimated 100,000 a year. In addition if they need any new equipment then we will happily order it for them.

If you are a Gym or Martial Art School owner PLEASE CONTACT US ! Or if you know of any that will be willing to start a free program please let them know about us! I already have a few gyms here in South Florida that need my help and I will be giving it to them as soon as I have enough funding.. So I know there are more places in more states that can benefit …….
Kids at Places like Caninos Karate and Boxing Studio ( Pictured Above ) and People of all ages can really benefit from what I am trying to do .. Even Gym’s Like US-1 Fitness In Dania Beach ( Pictured Below ) are the kind of Gym’s I am trying to reach and Fund .. It all Has to start somewhere we the people work too hard for what we have.. It would be nice just once not worry about an extra bill or Two .. You will learn, Enjoy, Keep Fit and most of all Feel Better
To be able to do this all over the country is my goal, To reach as many people as I can who know’s maybe somewhere by you in the very very near Future ..
