A big name in the UFC world has announced the launch of his new non-profit organization, "America's Champions Foundation". The organization, founded by top-ranked fighter Colby "Chaos" Covington, aims to provide support and assistance to military veterans and first responders.
In a recent interview, Covington spoke about the inspiration behind the foundation. "My Grandfather is a Vietnam and Korean War Veteran, I have a deep appreciation for the sacrifices that our military members and first responders make every day. I wanted to find a way to give back and make a difference in their lives."
The foundation will offer life skills and career development training events throughout the year. "We want to be there for these heroes every step of the way," said Covington.
The launch event for America's Champions Foundation is a poker tournament and meet-and-greet that will take place at Seminole Casino Coconut Creek, where Covington will be joined by several special guests, including retired military members and first responders. Covington is expected to make a heartfelt speech about his personal connection to the cause and the importance of supporting those who have served our country.
The community has already shown an outpouring of support for the foundation, with businesses and individuals making donations and offering support. "The response has been absolutely amazing," said Covington. "I can't wait to see the impact that we can make together."
Fans of Covington and supporters of military veterans and first responders are encouraged to attend the launch event at the Seminole Casino Coconut Creek and can go to americaschampions.org to find out more about how they can get involved with America's Champions Foundation.
