Posted September 21, 2024 by tkokindnessobjective

Generous Donation to Enhance Support for Victims of Bullying through Boxing Training.

 
The Dr. Atlas Foundation, founded by renowned boxing trainer and motivational figure Teddy Atlas, has made
a substantial donation to TKO (The Kindness Objective), furthering their shared mission to combat bullying.
This generous contribution will provide essential boxing equipment and gear, empowering TKO to support
and uplift victims of bullying through self-defense training and confidence-building.

Teddy Atlas, a celebrated figure in the world of boxing, is known not only for his impressive career as a trainer
and commentator but also for his unwavering commitment to giving back to the community. His foundation,
the Dr. Atlas Foundation, has long been dedicated to helping individuals overcome personal challenges and
achieve their full potential. Through this latest collaboration with TKO, Atlas continues to make a meaningful
impact on the lives of those in need.

TKO, a nonprofit organization founded by Melissa Marquais in Clarksville, TN, is dedicated to combating
bullying in schools, workplaces, and communities by promoting empathy, kindness, and self-confidence, and
by empowering individuals through MMA (mixed martial arts) training and self-defense skills. By integrating
boxing training into their programs, TKO aims to equip kids with both physical and mental skills to defend
themselves and build their confidence.

Coach Remy, owner of Hand Game in Clarksville, TN, generously volunteered to teach the kids in TKO’s
“Knock-Out Bullying” program how to box and defend themselves. The response to this program was so
overwhelming that TKO faced a shortage of essential gear, such as gloves, pads, and mouthguards.
The $2,000 donation from the Dr. Atlas Foundation will significantly bolster their efforts, ensuring that
participants have access to high quality equipment necessary for effective training.

Thanks to this generous donation, TKO will be able to acquire various boxing gear, including gloves, pads, and protective equipment, which will greatly enhance the training experience for participants. With this support, TKO can extend its reach and expand its programs, positively impacting kids affected by bullying.
