We hope you can be part of his participation in this once in a lifetime, affirming and culminating opportunity for youths like him, who have been training tirelessly for years.

All amounts will be accounted for and any surplus will be donated to a social project to help with training underprivileged youth in Morganti ju-jitsu training and their gears in Sao Paolo, Brazil. 

Here is an excerpt from the organizers' invitation: 

"The Paulista Federation of Morganti Ju-Jitsu, the highest body in charge of the sport in Brazil, has invited 
the Canadian delegation of Morganti Ju-Jitsu to the Morganti Ju-Jitsu world championship to be held in the city
of Recife - Pernambuco on October 14 and 15, 2023.
The Championship will take place at the "Ginásio de Esportes Geraldo Magalhães", at Av. Mal. Mascarenhas de
Morais, 7787 - Imbiribeira, Recife/PE and expects the presence of about 800 to 1000 athletes.
We understand the indispensability of the participation of this delegation, which has an important number of
practitioners of the art outside Brazil and represents a great pole of Morganti Ju-Jitsu in the international scope."
