Help Aidan & Tristan Compete at U.S. Open

Meet Aidan and Tristan:

Hi everyone,

My name is Eli, and I’m reaching out to ask for your support in helping my sons, Aidan and Tristan, represent their taekwondo school and compete at the U.S. Open Taekwondo Championships in Utah.

Both boys have trained incredibly hard for this moment. Their dedication, discipline, and love for the sport have been inspiring to witness—not only as their coach, but most importantly, as their dad. From early morning drills to late-night practices, they’ve committed themselves to excellence and personal growth in every way.

Why This Tournament Matters:

The U.S. Open is one of the top international tournaments in the sport, attracting elite athletes from around the globe. Being accepted to compete is a huge accomplishment and a stepping stone to future national rankings, collegiate opportunities, and lifelong memories.

For Aidan and Tristan, this event represents not only a personal milestone, but also the chance to grow, connect with others in the martial arts community, and proudly represent their team and community.

What We Need Help With:

Traveling to and competing in this event comes with costs we need help covering. Our fundraising goal is $2,500, which will go toward:

Tournament Registration Fees – $600

Airfare to Utah (2 athletes + 1 parent) – $1,800

Hotel (4 nights) – $600

Updated Gear & Equipment – $200

Every dollar donated will go directly toward this experience for the boys. This opportunity only comes once a year, and with your help, they won’t miss it.

How You Can Support:

Donate – Every bit helps us get one step closer to Utah!

Share – Spreading the word on social media, with your friends or in your workplace makes a huge difference.

Encourage – Leave a note for Aidan and Tristan! They’re reading every message and soaking up the love and motivation.

Thank You!

As a parent, I’m incredibly proud of who they are becoming both on and off the mat. If you’ve ever believed in supporting young athletes, this is your chance to directly help two of them reach their next big moment. We’ll be sharing updates, travel highlights, and tournament photos along the way, so you’ll be right there with us!

Thank you so much for your time, your kindness, and your belief in Aidan and Tristan.

With gratitude,

Eli Ingram (Proud Dad)
