Elite Fight Club, The Iron Brotherhood & Markham Mantra Lions Club Unite for the 2026 Winter Clothing Drive
Updated: 7 days ago
Three Organizations. One Community. One Mission: Keeping Our Neighbours Warm.
At Elite Fight Club Canada, we believe true strength is measured not only by what we accomplish in the ring, but also by what we contribute to the community around us.
This winter, Elite Fight Club Canada and The Iron Brotherhood are proud to work alongside Markham Mantra Lions Club in support of its 2026 Winter Clothing Drive.
Together, we’re inviting families, students, athletes, coaches and community members throughout Scarborough, Markham and Richmond Hill to help provide winter essentials to individuals and families in need.
Three Organizations Coming Together for a Good Cause
Elite Fight Club Canada is a martial arts community built on discipline, respect, personal development and helping others become stronger versions of themselves.
The Iron Brotherhood is a Christian brotherhood centred on faith, character, courage, discipline and service to others. Its guiding belief is that strength should be used to lift others up.
Markham Mantra Lions Club is part of the Lions tradition of community service, bringing people together to support those in need through charitable initiatives.
Although each organization has its own identity, we share a common commitment to making a positive difference.
What We’re Collecting
We’re accepting clean, new or gently used winter essentials, including:
Winter coats and jackets
Warm sweaters
Hats and scarves
Gloves
Winter boots
New warm socks
Blankets
Every contribution matters. A jacket that no longer fits or a warm blanket that isn’t being used could make a meaningful difference to someone this winter.
Collection Dates and Drop-Off Location
November 2 – December 12, 2026
Elite Fight Club Canada 3480 Pharmacy Avenue, 2nd Floor Scarborough, Ontario M1W 2S7
Donations can be dropped off at Elite Fight Club during regular gym operating hours.
Teaching the Next Generation to Give Back
As a martial arts coach, I believe it’s important to teach our younger students that being strong also means being responsible, compassionate and willing to help others.
Our students learn how to develop discipline, overcome challenges and support their teammates. Through initiatives like this, they also learn that those same values extend beyond the gym.
The Iron Brotherhood shares this commitment through its emphasis on faith, service, character and brotherhood.
Working alongside Markham Mantra Lions Club gives us an opportunity to put these values into action.
Join Us in Making a Difference
We’re encouraging our entire Elite Fight Club family, members of The Iron Brotherhood, parents, students and neighbours to participate.
You don’t need to be an EFC member to donate. Everyone is welcome to contribute.
Whether you donate one jacket or several bags of winter clothing, your generosity is appreciated.
Let’s come together and help keep our community warm this winter.
RESPECT IS EARNED. GRATITUDE IS FREE. LEGACY IS BUILT.
