The Hendo Foundation is Dedicated to supporting our Youth, Veterans, and many Charitable Organizations from a wide background.

Community
Outreach

The Hendo Foundation is dedicated to identifying under-privileged and at-risk youth in our community; giving them a safe, structured environment to grow. Through mentorship, martial arts training, and positive guidance, we create a space where young people can build confidence, develop discipline, and discover their true potential.

Supporting Other Charity Organizations

The Hendo Foundation proudly supports other charitable organizations through our annual events, including Hendo’s Charity Golf Tournament. These efforts help uplift incredible groups like America’s Mighty Warriors, who provide vital support to our veterans after deployment, and War Party Ranch, which protects and empowers Native American women who have survived sexual and physical violence.

Health &
Wellness

Training and discipline give our youth the structure, confidence, and resilience they need to thrive. By learning to set goals, work hard, and push through challenges, they build lifelong habits that support their physical health, emotional well-being, and overall character. The Hendo Foundation is committed to providing these tools so every young person has the chance to grow stronger—inside and out.

Leadership

We create mentorship and leadership opportunities that give young athletes guidance both inside and outside the gym. By connecting them with experienced coaches and positive role models, we help them build confidence, discipline, and life skills that carry far beyond training. Our goal is to give every kid the support system they need to grow stronger—physically, mentally, and emotionally.

Proudly supporting veterans, first responders, and women and children affected by sex trafficking and domestic violence.

The Hendo Charity Golf Tournament is more than a day on the course — it’s a direct investment in people who’ve sacrificed and those who need protection the most. Through this event, we raised significant funds to support our veterans and their families via Charitable organizations such as America’s Mighty Warriors and the Special Forces Charitable Trust, helping provide critical resources, transition support, and long-term care for those who’ve served at the highest level. We also proudly extended that impact to women and children affected by domestic violence by supporting The War Party Ranch, a charity dedicated to rescue, healing, and rebuilding lives through safety, counseling, and community.
