Hall of Fame

Since 2012, more than 10,000 BJJ practitioners have fundraised on behalf of Tap Cancer Out and our beneficiary organizations. Some have gone above and beyond, raising incredible amounts of money through creativity and sheet determination. Our Hall of Fame is where we recognize the top fundraisers who have raised $8,000 or more. We are forever grateful for their selfless work.

I don’t grapple. Can I still help?

You don’t have to be a grappler to help. As long as you’re dedicated to finding a cure for cancer, we want you on our team. So slap on your favorite submission hold and let’s force cancer to tap out, once and for all.

Thank you so much for your support.

“Tap Out: A combat sports term for yielding to the opponent, and hence resulting in an immediate defeat.“
