Champions for Change in Underserved Communities

We stand out from other nonprofits with our unique mission and dedicated approach to empowering underserved BIPOC youth. Established in 2023 as the nonprofit arm of No Defeat, our foundation is a testament to Shannon Burge’s enduring commitment to fitness, community support, and the powerful legacy of her late father, Charlie. Our work addresses not just the immediate needs of our community but also the deeper social determinants of health. This commitment allows us to tackle the root causes of challenges faced by BIPOC youth in Denver and Aurora, fostering a healthier, more resilient future.

We focus on culturally informed fitness coaching, confidence building, and life skills development, specifically designed for at-risk youth in marginalized neighborhoods. This holistic approach not only enhances physical health but also builds mental resilience, empowering young individuals to overcome obstacles and thrive. As a BIPOC-founded and led organization, we deeply understand the challenges these communities face and are devoted to enacting sustainable change from within. Through innovative programs and strategic partnerships, NoDefeat Warrior Foundation breaks down barriers and creates opportunities, serving as a beacon of hope and a catalyst for equity and justice in the communities we serve.
