Gianna's Judo Journey for Team USA

Gianna "BamBam" has been selected by USA Judo to represent the United States of America as the sub 15 48 kg female at the Infantile Pan American Games in Ecuador this November. Gianna has been studying Martial Arts with concentration in Judo, Jiu-Jitsu and Karate, since the age of 6 and is now  a 2nd Degree Black Belt in Karate and a Green Belt in Judo. Gianna has dedicated most of her free time to pursuing her dreams of someday competing in the Olympic Games all while maintaining a straight A average in school and status on the Junior Honor Society. Gianna holds many Judo titles to include: Double Gold Medalist at the 2017 USA Judo Junior Olympics, Gold Medalist at the Judo Summer Nationals and Silver Medalist at the Judo US Open, to name a few. Gianna is a completely self funded athlete, as her father and I work tirelessly to help her follow her dream and achieve her goals. The deadlines of having to fund this competition have created financial constraints and we are hoping to be blessed with your support. During the summer BamBam has fought in Washington State, Michigan and Florida within a six week span. Any donation you give is greatly appreciated. God bless you and God bless the USA.
