On September 13, we had the pleasure of hosting Roll With Purpose at Team Octopus in Henderson, NV, a special one-time event that brought together friends, supporters, and community members for a day of Brazilian Jiu Jitsu, connection, and giving back. 30 people joined us on the mats to challenge themselves, share energy, and support a cause close to our hearts.
Thanks to the generosity and enthusiasm of everyone who attended, we were able to raise $620 for the We Defy Foundation. We are so grateful to our attendees, this donation was made possible entirely by your energy, commitment, and willingness to show up for veterans. You didn’t just roll, you made an impact.
The We Defy Foundation is a nonprofit dedicated to empowering combat veterans through Brazilian Jiu Jitsu. By providing a safe, structured environment for training and connection, they help veterans build confidence, resilience, and a sense of community as they reintegrate into civilian life.
Giving back to the veteran community is something we take seriously. Many of our products, like our Cannamolds, are designed to make rolling easy and accessible, especially for those with limited dexterity, so anyone, at any skill level, can roll perfect joints every time. Supporting veterans through events like this is our way of saying thank you.
While Brazilian Jiu Jitsu isn’t part of our day-to-day culture, the principles it embodies—resilience, growth, and purpose—align closely with the values we live by at Purple Rose Supply. Seeing veterans, community members, and our leadership share the mats, encourage each other, and support one another made the event truly special.
While Roll With Purpose was our first event of this kind, the energy and impact of the day will last far beyond the mats. We hope to host similar events in the future, and we are incredibly thankful to all who came out, rolled, and gave back. You are what made this day so special, and we can’t wait to see this community continue to grow, connect, and support one another.
