The Groundwork Foundation is proud to announce ADCC as an official Title Partner, marking an exciting step forward in our ongoing commitment to serving the global grappling community and expanding access to opportunity through jiu-jitsu.
As part of this partnership, the Groundwork Foundation will maintain a vendor booth presence at every ADCC US Open where space allows. This continued presence enables us to connect directly with athletes, coaches, families, and supporters—sharing our mission, collecting new and lightly used gi donations, and engaging one-on-one with members of the grappling community who make our work possible.
ADCC has long represented the highest level of submission grappling worldwide, and their support reflects a shared belief in the power of jiu-jitsu to create positive change far beyond competition. This partnership allows us to stay closely connected to the community we serve while expanding the reach and impact of our outreach initiatives both locally and internationally.
At each ADCC Open, visitors can stop by our booth to:
- Learn more about the Groundwork Foundation and our work
- Donate new or lightly used gis for upcoming outreach initiatives
- Connect with our team about current and future projects
- Stay informed about upcoming events, trips, and opportunities to get involved
We extend our sincere thanks to Caitlin Gare, Mo Jassim, and the entire ADCC team for their support and collaboration. Their belief in our mission helps us continue laying the groundwork for stronger futures through jiu-jitsu, mentorship, and community-driven impact.
We look forward to connecting with the grappling community at upcoming ADCC Opens and continuing this journey together.
