P&B Capital Group Donates to Therapeutic Jiu-Jitsu Training for Disabled Veterans

WEST SENECA, N.Y -- P&B Capital Group LLC was honored to make a financial contribution this holiday season to the We Defy Foundation, a 501(c)3 organization providing combat veterans coping with military-connected disabilities a means to overcome challenges through Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu and fitness training. 

“Veteran care is important to us at P&B, as is personal fitness training. When we learned about what this organization is doing, we were impressed and wanted to be a part of it. They need corporate partners to do what they do and we are honored to do what we can to contribute,” said Ryan Kazmark, P&B Managing Partner. Kazmark spent 8 years total as a member of the 82nd Airborne Division — as Staff Sergeant in the US Army and later as part of the US Army Reserve.
