Tap Cancer Out
In January, our very own, Todd Newell, Financial Advisor, trained and competed in a Brazilian Jiu Jitsu (BJJ) tournament with an organization called Tap Cancer Out (TCO). TCO is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit charitable organize that raises funds beyond cancer research; encompassing training, survivorship support, prevention, and even some adventurous initiatives.
At Tap Cancer Out, it has been their belief since day one that the jiu-jitsu community can come together to support these organizations, hospitals, doctors, researchers and volunteers who won’t quit until they’ve forced cancer to tap out.
Todd raised $3,255 dollars through word-of-mouth and the entire event raised $90,107. Todd went on to win his division winning both of his matches by submission. For those who are familiar with BJJ: he won his first match by rear naked choke and his second by kimura shoulder lock.
If you have charitable inclinations and would like to donate to TCO consider contacting Todd at Todd.Newell@wellsfargoadvisors.com or (858) 456-5457. He can direct you towards the links to donate to not only help the cause but receive a charitable tax deduction.
