Supporting those who have served — our veterans, first responders, and their families.
Our Commitment to Veterans
The Hendo Foundation is dedicated to supporting our Youth, Veterans, and First Responders. Through our annual events and ongoing initiatives, we raise funds that directly support veterans and their families.
We proudly support charitable organizations that provide critical resources, transition support, and long-term care for those who've served at the highest level. Our golf tournament and pig roast raise significant funds every year to make this possible.
Beyond financial support, the Hendo Foundation is committed to helping local veterans rebuild their lives through MMA training and community. We believe that the discipline, brotherhood, and sense of purpose found on the mats can be just as powerful as any treatment program — giving veterans the tools, the people, and the confidence to build a meaningful life beyond their service.
We proudly serve veterans in Temecula, Murrieta, and the greater San Diego region — honoring their sacrifice through action.
Previously Benefitted Charities
MMA Training
The Hendo Foundation provides local veterans access to free MMA training — using the discipline, structure, and brotherhood of martial arts to help veterans rediscover purpose, confidence, and strength after service.
Community Building
We believe no veteran should feel alone. Our programs foster a tight-knit community of veterans who train together, support one another, and build lasting bonds — just like the brotherhood they knew in uniform.
Mental Health & Wellness
Physical training is just the beginning. We support veterans' overall mental and emotional well-being — helping them process the challenges of transitioning to civilian life through movement, mentorship, and community.
2026 Charity Selections
Our 2026 Golf Tournament charity selections are VETS (Veterans Exploring Treatment Solutions) and V4CR (Veterans for Child Rescue).
