P&B Capital Group LLC, an ACA International member company based in West Seneca, New York, made a financial contribution this holiday season to the We Defy Foundation (WDF), a 501(c)3 organization that provides combat veterans coping with military-connected disabilities a means to overcome challenges through Brazilian jiu-jitsu and fitness training.
“Veteran care is important to us at P&B, as is personal fitness training,” said Ryan Kazmark, P&B managing partner. “When we learned about what this organization is doing, we were impressed and wanted to be a part of it. They need corporate partners to do what they do, and we are honored to do what we can to contribute.”
Kazmark spent eight years total as a member of the 82nd Airborne Division, as a staff sergeant in the U.S. Army and later as part of the U.S. Army Reserve.
According to the WDF website, the organization raised $500,000 in 2021 and was able to provide over 600 athlete scholarships in over 500 affiliate gyms across 45 states. The therapeutic healing provided through the sport of jiu-jitsu empowers veteran athletes “through integrity, discipline, personal accountability, mental and physical development, improved coordination, flexibility, adaptability, confidence, patience, and selfless service.”
