BIG NEWS - Due to the success of the foundation and the incredible support from family and friends at the actual event, Dominic "The Dominator" has been selected to be the MAIN EVENT for Swing for the Stars 3!
On April 19th, 2024, Dominic "The Dominator" Durso will be competing in a special needs charity event entitled "Swing for the Stars." Swing for the Stars is a charity Fight Night event founded by Tiger Schulmann's Martial Arts. Dominic is a 15-year-old young man who has an intellectual disability. He also has a wide array of physical and cognitive challenges. Despite his disability, he has been training at TSMMA in Colmar, PA for the past 9 years. This event will give Tiger Schulmann's students with special needs an opportunity to become a "Pro Fighter" for the night and face off against their favorite professional fighter in the ring. Dominic will be facing former UFC superstar, Nick "Pretty Boy" Pace. The event will be held at the Rahway Rec Center with a capacity of 1,200 people. It will also be streamed via YouTube.
Due to the proximity of most Tiger Schulmann's schools (NJ and NY), the charity that Swing for the Stars typically supports is not local to our area. Dominic and I thought this would be an opportunity for him to raise money for a local non-profit by starting his own foundation entitled "The Dominator Foundation." Just like last year, we have decided to raise money for his school, Our Lady of Confidence. OLC's mission is to facilitate the complete development of students with intellectual disabilities to their fullest potential: spiritually, intellectually, mentally, physically, and emotionally. OLC is a special place that provides love, support, and learning for kids with Down syndrome, intellectual disabilities, and other special needs. The funds raised will go toward funding a scholarship to OLC for a student in financial need.
