L.U. 104 (lctt,o,u&ptc), BOSTON, MA — In a display of solidarity and support for military veterans, our local sponsored a We Defy Foundation open-mat fundraising event. This initiative seeks to honor and uplift those who have served in the armed forces, recognizing their sacrifices and contributions to our nation.
The event, organized by dedicated members of Local 104, aims to raise scholarship funds for We Defy, a nonprofit dedicated to empowering combat veterans through Brazilian jiu-jitsu training. This unique approach provides veterans with a transformative experience, promoting physical fitness, mental resilience and a sense of community.
The event underscores Local 104’s commitment to giving back to those who have bravely defended our freedom. By supporting the We Defy Foundation, we recognize the challenges veterans face and actively contribute to their rehabilitation and reintegration to civilian life.
The event was a heartfelt gathering, bringing together a community to celebrate the resilience of our veterans and raise funds for a noble cause. Through its sponsorship, Local 104 continues to exemplify the union’s dedication to making a positive impact, both in the workplace and in the lives of those who have served our country.
