OUR MISSION

The grappling community has always shown up for its own.

Tap Cancer Out has spent over a decade turning the jiu-jitsu community's grit into support for people facing cancer — funding research, covering treatment costs, and standing with patients and their families when it matters most.

Global Grappling Day channels that same spirit into one unified day: thousands of grapplers across hundreds of academies, all rolling for the same hour, all raising money for the same fight.
