Alex fundraiser to compete in IFMA in Malaysia
Donation protected
Our young 15 year old Alex Ignatov has quickly grown into a superstar here in the States. He's recently won his Class A division, awarding him his second belt in his career. He has recently been selected to compete in the International Federation of MuayThai Associations (IFMA) in Malaysia this coming August 2022!
A little bit about what IFMA is:
"The International Federation of Muaythai Associations (IFMA) began as a small federation with several enthusiastic countries, more than two decades ago. After the passage of the initial stages of its life and at the dawn of an exciting new century, IFMA had grown to 130 member countries worldwide with 5 continental federations, together existing under a single, unified regulatory body. IFMA accepts and recognises the mission and roll of the International Olympic Committee (IOC). IFMA will always conform and respect the Olympic charter, adopt the code of ethics based on the principles of the IOC."
Those in the loop know exactly how big of an opportunity this is not only at his age, but setting him up for a career! Being one of those dedicated and consistent members at our Academy he truly deserves this spot, and will not only be representing our Academy, our City of Chicago, but Team USA!
That being said we need your help in getting him there, and as you know there is a huge increase in prices lately. Whatever you can donate we will take, but to help we will be creating fundraiser shirts, stickers, and all proceeds will go towards the fundraiser.
