City Champs Foundation has a defined mission and vision. We know we can achieve great things for kids (and our communities) by providing scholarships to train them in boxing and mixed martial arts.

We can’t do it alone, though.

Many Milwaukee-area organizations work to help children, especially kids who start life at a disadvantage. We hope to partner with these groups – those that share a similar mission and vision as City Champs.

Here’s how: We’ll provide scholarships to kids, referred by partnering organizations, who would benefit from the disciplined, structured environment of a boxing and martial arts gym. We know many candidates already, but want to reach beyond our immediate circle. This is how we create a larger, more positive ripple effect.

Long view, we see strategic alliances with organizations who share our passion for helping youth and our communities. These groups would embrace similar organizational methods, concepts, and beliefs, and operate on measurable results.

Help Us; Help Kids; Help Our Community, Help Your Organization

Many inner-city (Milwaukee-area) organizations work to help children, especially those who start life at a disadvantage, or face other troubles. We hope to partner with these groups who share a similar mission and vision.

CITY CHAMPS FOUNDATION PAYS THE GYM FEES AND EQUIPMENT FOR YOUTH WHO DESIRE TO ATTEND MILWAUKEE’S PREMIER GYMS BUT WHO DO NOT HAVE THE MEANS TO DO SO.

Our Community Partner Program has 2 opportunities.
Community Partner Sponsor: organizations agreeing to Community Partner sponsorship and receiving the benefits
Community Partner Affiliate: organizations nominating children and working with City Champs to place them into gyms.

There is no monetary cost for either. Our mission is to form partnerships with organizations where our program could benefit the children you help.

City Champs seeks to partner with a wide range of organizations committed to shaping the youth of today through guidance, patient teaching and professional instruction.

Here’s how: City Champs provides scholarships to kids, referred by partnering organizations.

How it works:
Community sponsors and affiliates nominate youth for scholarship as the advocate
Once nomination is accepted, placement in gym and scholarship program begins
Advocate helps to ensure program requirements are being met. Children must meet the weekly, monthly, quarterly and yearly targets set to maintain their scholarships. These targets support the mission of City Champs, community partners and gyms.
Scholarship Curriculum: review our scholarship program to learn more about how it works
Summer Scholarship Program: nominate youth, bring to event, scholarships will be awarded at event

Currently City Champs has the Summer Program and Full Scholarship Program.

Summer Scholarships last 4-6 weeks giving children access to gyms over the summer. There are no requirements except for pre-register and attending the Summer Gym Scholarship Giveaway event. Those with summer scholarships may apply for full scholarship after summer if attendance requirements are met.

Full Scholarship: Scholarships are not given, they are earned. For youth having a passion and desire to train in sport but can not afford the cost. 1 year paid gym fees and equipment at one of gym partner schools. All scholarship recipients must meet curriculum requirements to maintain scholarship. Attendance requirements vary based on the level of which the gym is placed.
