This year, the foundations focused the spotlight on seven up-and-coming student-athletes who practice either combat sports and/or gymnastics, encouraging them to pursue their athletic endeavors by awarding them bursaries worth $2,000 and $4,000. Cruz Lewis was one of the seven bursary deserving recipients.
The bursary recipients had the opportunity to meet, chat with, and provide a demonstration of their respective sport disciplines to former mixed martial arts world champion, philanthropist, and entrepreneur Georges St-Pierre.
After winning gold in the under-60 kg category at the 2022 Canada Games in Niagara, Cruz Lewis continued to shine on the national stage, winning the 2023 Canadian Championship in the under-60 kg cadet category.
