Once again this year TAPOUT sponsors the NEC BJJ Championship. Rickson Gracie Black Belt, Shane Rice, will be presiding over the tournament. Proceeds from the event benefit The Power of Sport for Kids Program.

Sport Chek’s The Power of Sport for Kids Program donates new sports equipment to kids who need it most. Many children and families have never had the opportunity to participate in sports due to economic issues, isolation or severe family challenges.  Sport Chek is committed to providing recreational opportunities to organizations that help kids and youth who might otherwise not become involved in healthy, physical recreation. Youth centres provide opportunities and space for youth to become involved, get off the streets, get support to resolve problems, and teach them valuable skills about fair play and leadership.
