Foundation
Jasmit Singh Phulka believes it is instrumental to utilise his wrestling platform to make a difference. For him, it’s not about having a platform, but rather, what you do with it that counts.
Through his wrestling journey, he has been able to harness his platform to bring community together. This fundamentally includes year-round, local volunteerism to recognise and aid different parts of our community.

November 18, 2021
“I'm currently a part of the Abbotsford Police Connection Circle and the Chief of Police reached out to us via email yesterday giving a brief update and reminding us about how important strength in community is. At that moment it clicked in my mind that this was my calling and I wanted to be involved in any capacity. I visited the Tradex where all the evacuees are staying currently and there stories of being air lifted by helicopters or rescued on boats from their flooding homes is heart wrenching.“

Homemade Thanksgiving Dinner for the Salvation Army
October 11, 2020
“For this year's Thanksgiving holiday I wanted to do something a little different. I had an idea which I shared with my mom who helped me turn it into reality. She even took it upon herself to cook all of the food with the help of our relatives. It was only fitting that we cook some of my late grandmother's favourite Indian dishes.
