Tap Cancer Out<\/span><\/a> combines people\u2019s passions for Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu (BJJ) with philanthropic endeavors that raise awareness and funds for cancer-fighting organizations.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Since its inception, which began with an idea at a <\/span>GoFundMe Pro Awards<\/span><\/a> ceremony in 2011, Tap Cancer Out has built its core fundraising model from the ground up with GoFundMe Pro, integrating the platform\u2019s technology into every step of the donation journey.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n

A tournament model that empowers competitors to fundraise for a good cause<\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Tap Cancer Out has always known that a <\/span>registration with fundraising <\/span><\/a>model is the right approach for its jiu-jitsu tournaments. Participants can register for a tournament as a Paid Competitor and are charged an entrance fee upfront (ranging from $70-$100), or they can register for free as a Fundraising Competitor. As long as they raise $250 or more, they owe nothing to compete. Anything raised above that amount can earn them Tap Cancer Out perks and swag. <\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n

The funds raised at each Tap Cancer Out event help fund the more than $1,000,000 in yearly gifts committed to TCO\u2019s beneficiary organizations which include Alex\u2019s Lemonade Stand, the American Brain Tumor Association, and First Descents.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Our registrants and fundraisers are familiar with how our registration page looks and quickly learned how to set up a GoFundMe Pro fundraising page, which they can connect to their social media accounts, to reach more donors in their network.<\/span><\/p>\n\n \n
