Dustin Poirier and The Good Fight Foundation
Dustin Poirier and his wife Jolie started The Good Fight Foundation. Their main agenda is to raise money for needy people and to help them benefit in every way. The foundation started off by auctioning the fighter’s trunks, shirts, and wraps after each of his fights. The money collected was then used to help underserved communities through health care and environmental disaster relief.
This is what Poirier said about his foundation- “I am a fighter. It’s what I do. Now I want to fight the good fight for those who can’t. I have created a platform for fellow athletes and fans to join together. Fight for underserved communities and answer the call of those in need.”
