Donation Information

Give what you have. Build what your community needs.

Equipment can become opportunity. Students can become service. At Team Ascension, both kinds of giving matter.

Give equipment

Good gear should keep working.

Team Ascension accepts many kinds of gently used martial arts equipment—from training weapons to uniforms and sparring gear. These items do not have to go to waste.

Generally, usable donations go directly to one of our students. We work to place each item where it can continue helping someone train, grow, and belong.

Training weapons

Gently used martial arts training weapons that are ready to keep serving a useful purpose.

Uniforms & belts

Clean uniforms, belts, and related apparel in condition to be worn and practiced in again.

Sparring & training gear

Protective sparring equipment, pads, gloves, and other clean, usable martial arts gear.

Have something else to offer?

Contact us before bringing an item so we can discuss its condition, current student needs, and the best time for drop-off.

With gratitude

Thank you, Q4 2026 donors.

Give back together

Donations work two ways.

Our community supports Team Ascension, and Team Ascension supports our community. If your next event could use a small group of underbelts and black belts, call us. Tell us what would be helpful, and we will talk with you about how our team may be able to participate.
