Sponsorship Opportunities: The World Masters Campaign

The Fighting Chance Initiative (FCI) is preparing to compete on the global stage. Our Founder and CEO, Timothy Boyle, and the FCI Competition Team, led by Professor George Andersch, will represent our mission at the IBJJF World Master Jiu-Jitsu Championship in Las Vegas.

The World Master Championship is the premier global event for veteran practitioners, attracting elite athletes from across the world. This is the pinnacle of international competition, where the highest levels of technical proficiency and dedication are on display. Every match and podium ceremony is live-streamed globally on FloGrappling, providing your brand with high-visibility, professional exposure to millions of practitioners, fans, and industry leaders within the global martial arts community.

The Double Down Challenge: Our Operational Mandate

This campaign serves as the Double Down Challenge—the most critical expansion phase in FCI’s history. We aren't just traveling to compete; we are traveling to catalyze growth. The challenge is built on a "1-for-1" scalability model, enhanced by a Performance Multiplier:

1. The Foundation (1-for-1): Every sponsorship tier in this campaign is mathematically tied to scholar capacity. Your sponsorship funds a comprehensive resilience package for a new scholar, including:

• Full Academy Tuition: 6 months of unlimited training.

• Uniforms & Equipment: High-quality Gis and a mouthguard.

• Academic Oversight: Professional mentorship and academic progress tracking.

2. The Podium Multiplier (The 2-for-1 Bonus): We are putting our performance on the line to maximize your impact. If any member of the FCI Competition Team achieves a podium finish (Gold, Silver, or Bronze) at the World Masters, FCI commits to doubling the scholarship awards for the funds raised. In this scenario, your sponsorship investment yields twice the results: a single sponsorship tier will fund the enrollment and support of two scholars instead of one. We are leveraging our success on the mats to provide an exponential return on your investment in youth resilience.

3. The Commitment: By sponsoring the team in Las Vegas, you are directly responsible for the "Double Down" effect. We are using our performance to prove the efficacy of our training, while your sponsorship provides the fuel to replicate that success for the next generation, without limits.
