Help Me Compete at PAN KIDS 2025 –. A Dream in the Making

Hi! My name is Francesca, I’m 11 years old, and I’m a passionate Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu athlete with a big dream: to compete at PAN KIDS 2025 in Florida this July.

Jiu-jitsu has completely changed my life. It’s more than just a sport for me; it’s where I’ve found confidence, discipline, and joy. I train 6 times a week with full dedication and have been preparing for this competition for several months now.

Over the past year, I’ve been fortunate to win several local tournaments, and even earned 2 gold medals at the IBJJF New York Open 2025 and the IBJJF Toronto Open 2024. These achievements have motivated me even more to step onto the mats at one of the biggest and most important kids' competitions in the world: PAN KIDS.

This will be my very first time participating in this prestigious event, and I’m working incredibly hard to be ready. But to get there, I need your support to help cover travel, registration, accommodation, and other related expenses.

If you believe in hard work, passion, and the power of dreams, I’d be so grateful for your support - whether through a donation or simply sharing my story.

Thank you so much for helping me chase this goal. See you on the mats!

Francesca
