Smashing Success At Gorilla Cup XXI

On May 4, 2024 SBG’s Gorilla Booster Club hosted the Gorilla Cup XXI at Bigfork High School. The Gorilla Cup is a Jiu Jitsu tournament only for SBG members that is held twice a year to raise funds for the Gorilla Booster Club 501(c)(3) non-profit organization. The Gorilla Booster Club raises travel funds for Straight Blast Gym’s Brazilian Jiu Jitsu Competition Team (ages 5 & up) so they can participate in high-level tournaments throughout the Northwest. The Gorilla Booster Club was formed in 2012 to help “level the playing field” for Montana’s competitors. The GBC donates money to each participant for travel expenses & registration costs.

The Gorilla Cup XXI was a record smashing success with more funds raised and participants than ever before. 280 competitors from six Montana SBG locations filled the mats and raised over $18,000 for the Gorilla Booster club. Funds come from event registration, spectator entrance fees, donated baked goods and concession sales and t-shirt sales and the event is run by volunteers.
