Yesterday the Wilton Chamber of Commerce gave a warm shout out to a local hero:
Our most sincere congratulations to Jon Thomas, this year's winner of the 40 under 40 awards. A winner from Wilton! Jon has accomplished so much already with his Tap Cancer Out organization. We were proud to be associated with the program and present him with a well-deserved award. All our best to you, Jon!!!
Tap Cancer Out. according to its "About Us" page, is a jiu-jitsu based 501(c)(3) nonprofit raising awareness and funds for cancer fighting organizations on behalf of the grappling community. We do this primarily through hosting fundraising tournaments, but also through direct donations, merchandise sales and sponsorships. Since 2011, we’ve hosted numerous tournaments and have donated more than $300,000 to our beneficiaries.
