Giving underserved youth the tools to win, on the mat and in life.

The RBY Wrestling Foundation exists to provide access, opportunity, and mentorship for young athletes who may not otherwise have the resources to pursue wrestling and personal development.

We believe every child deserves the opportunity to compete, grow, and develop through wrestling, regardless of financial circumstances.

Our Mission

Built for the kids who need it most

Wrestling teaches discipline, resilience, and self-belief. Those lessons carry far beyond the mat. But for too many young athletes, cost is the barrier between them and that opportunity. We exist to remove that barrier.

RBY was founded by Roman Bravo-Young, a Tucson native and Olympian who climbed to the top of the sport and wants to open those same doors for the next generation. He grew up on these mats. The goal now is simple: make sure the next kid gets their shot, no matter what they can afford.
