Support Tiny's Knee Surgery and Recovery

Donation protected
Dear Fight Family and Pro Edge Community,

I’m Orlando Jimenez, and I’m reaching out with a heartfelt request on behalf of someone who has given so much to all of us—Jose "Tiny" Castanon. Tiny is not just a fighter in the ring but also a fighter in life.

He’s been a cornerstone of our Pro Edge Boxing, MMA & Jiu Jitsu family—a coach, a mentor, and a source of inspiration for countless athletes and students. Today, Tiny needs our help.

Tiny is facing one of the toughest battles of his life. Due to severe damage to his knee, he’s missing his patella and is in urgent need of extensive reconstructive surgery. This isn’t just about walking without pain—it’s about reclaiming his ability to live fully and continue doing what he loves: empowering others through combat sports.

As you know, Tiny has poured his heart and soul into our community. He’s been the one cheering us on when we’re down, pushing us to dig deeper when we’ve got nothing left, and celebrating our victories as if they were his own. Now it’s our turn to show up for him.

Why Tiny Needs You

Tiny has always been the first to show up, the last to leave, and the one who gives his all, no matter the challenge. But no fighter can do it alone. We’re calling upon our Fight Family—our Pro Edge Boxing, MMA & Jiu Jitsu Community—to rally together and ensure Tiny gets the help he needs.

The surgery Tiny needs is not only complex but also expensive. We’ve set a goal of $10,000 to cover the costs of surgery, months of rehabilitation, and the medical supplies he’ll need to recover. Even with insurance, the out-of-pocket costs are overwhelming.

This isn’t just about one surgery; it’s about giving back to someone who has given so much of himself to us. It’s about honoring the man who never lets his size define his spirit. Tiny has the heart of a lion, and now he needs his pride to stand behind him.

How You Can Help

We’re asking for your support in any way you can:

Donate: Whether it’s $5, $50, or $500, every contribution gets Tiny closer to his goal.

Share: Spread the word far and wide. Share this campaign with your friends, family, and networks to help us reach more people.
Together, we can make this happen.

Join the Fight for Tiny

Let’s show Tiny that the strength of a fighter isn’t just in their punches—it’s in the love and support of their community. Let’s prove that the Pro Edge family takes care of its own.

Tiny has been in our corner countless times. Now it’s our turn to stand in his.

Click to donate now and help Tiny get back on his feet.

Thank you for your generosity, your love, and your unwavering support. Let’s do this together, as a family.

With gratitude and determination,

Orlando Jimenez
