MusclePharm Corporation (OTCQB: MSLP), a sports nutrition company, hosted the Submit Cancer Jiu-Jitsu Charity Event in August.
The event attracted 450 attendees and raised more than $60,000 for Children’s Hospital Foundation Colorado. MusclePharm funded the event, with the entirety of the proceeds going to charity.
“We are focusing on the things that define who we are as a brand: label and company transparency, science, customer service and giving back,” said MusclePharm CEO Ryan Drexler. “We have been extremely focused on the health of the business, and as that continues to improve and strengthen, we determined it was time for us to invest back into the community.”
Submit Cancer featured Jiu-Jitsu and UFC Athletes competing against one another, as well as top local youth and adult competitions. MusclePharm CEO and Jiu-Jitsu Brown Belt Ryan Drexler kicked off the main card against UFC fighter Neil Magny.
The check presentation for the donation to Children’s Hospital Foundation is scheduled for October 5.
