A few words
About us
The K2 Zaborowscy Foundation was founded in 2021 by Karolina Zaborowska (formerly Kowalkiewicz) and her husband Lukasz Zaborowski. Karolina is a mixed martial arts fighter who fights in the UFC, the most prestigious MMA federation in the world. She was also a contender for the UFC strawweight title and the first woman to win the KSW Federation championship. Lukasz is a martial arts trainer and has worked with many other athletes fighting at UFC or KSW galas. He is also a coach for the Polish MMA national team.
Since the foundation’s inception, its goal has been to help children reach their own peak. Sports can be crucial when it comes to fighting depression or simply getting out of bad company. The K2 Zaborowscy Foundation also wants to help athletes who, for a variety of reasons, such as a severe injury and lack of funds for quick and effective treatment, cannot continue to pursue their passion. – We are also mindful of the youngest – many of them did not choose their fate and start life without parents or in uninviting environments and living conditions. We want to show them that despite a difficult start, they can achieve their goals,” say Karolina and Luke.
The K2 Zaborowscy Foundation in Poland has organized various activities, meetings with well-known personalities or trips for children from the Family Orphanage in Bydgoszcz throughout the length of its activities. Our charges were able to visit Gdansk, Gdynia and Sopot, Poznan, Zakopane, Warsaw and many other beautiful places in Poland. In addition, their big dream is to visit the United States, and we believe that we will soon be able to help them realize this dream.
What’s more, we have organized hundreds of charity sporting and non-sporting events for all children across the country. These included training with star athletes such as soccer, basketball and volleyball. Olympic medalists and other outstanding athletes work with us. With this, we want to show our children in our charge that sports can be a great break and that it is possible to spend time actively, and not only with phones, tablets or computers.
Now our mission is to bring the foundation's project to the United States.
We want the Polish community to spend as much time together as possible, because patriotism and attachment to the country is very important to Poles. We can also help develop and deepen sports passion and find the “new” Robert Lewandowski, Iga Świątek or Karolina Kowalkiewicz 😉 We will not forget about Poles in need, because we know that not every Pole in the United States lives at an adequate level, and every child deserves the best possible conditions, and above all to develop their skills or interests.
