For the 2024 tournament, the BFit Heroes Cup welcomes the new directors of the Hero's Cup Foundation, EJ and Jaime Nicholas.

For many years, Retired Police Officer Brian Martin from Carmel, Indiana, battled PTSD. He’s battled alcohol use, flashbacks, avoidance, self-harm, suicidal thoughts and even attempts, all while denying PTSD could be responsible. He exhibited symptoms in front of his peers and supervisors, and they didn't recognize them until one day, he found a solution.
