“It was great to come here and give back to these kids today,” remarked Hill. “I grew up in a similar club back in Michigan and places like this mean a lot to kids who are searching for a better life. Places like this provide inspiration and these kids need to know that they can overcome any obstacles as long as they work hard and don’t quit.”
At the conclusion of the event, the UFC Foundation made a $10,000 donation in recognition of the organization’s 30th anniversary.
The funds donated from the UFC Foundation will go towards the non-profit STEM Educational Institute, which offers high school students the opportunity to learn the technological skills needed to enter today’s workforce and aims to serve as a diverse talent pipeline for organizations throughout the state of New Jersey.
UFC’s corporate social responsibility program, #UFCInTheCommunity, strategically collaborates with partners, sponsors, and athletes to develop additional charitable programs and funding sources to help bolster and inspire the local community. For more information, please visit UFCFOUNDATION.
