Help Us Empower the Next Generation of Totally Ausome KO Scholars

Hey Family,

At Counter Punch Youth Academy, we believe every young person deserves the chance to build confidence, resilience, and leadership skills inside and outside the classroom. That’s why we’ve created KO Scholars, a one-of-a-kind program blending the martial arts of Olympic-style boxing, social-emotional learning (SEL), and academics to prepare students for life in school and beyond.

We are currently inside three school locations, with our next ambitious goal: expanding KO Scholars into 10 Middle Tennessee schools within the next year.

To make this possible, we need your support. For every school we enter, our upfront investment is roughly $10,000. This covers:

  • A fully equipped boxing ring and training equipment

  • Uniforms and boxing gear for the first 50 students (with room to grow)

  • Access to our KO Scholars curriculum for all participating students

  • The ability to keep the program free for families, removing financial barriers so every student has the chance to participate

By donating, you’re not just helping us put gloves on kids’ hands; you’re helping us put opportunity in their reach. Your support ensures that we can continue to expand without charging students, directly removing barriers, and opening doors for thousands of young people across Middle Tennessee.

Together, we can help the next generation of KO Scholars fight for brighter futures.

With gratitude,
Counter Punch Youth Academy
