## Key points

- Five Finger Death Punch donated $200,000 to US Olympic and Paralympic athletes.
- The money supports USA Judo and BMX racing and freestyle programmes.
- The donation came from a share of tickets sold on the band’s tour.

## Summary

Five Finger Death Punch has donated $200,000 to support US athletes preparing for the 2028 Olympic and Paralympic Games in Los Angeles. The contribution, raised from a portion of each ticket sold on the North American leg of the band’s anniversary tour, will help athletes in USA Judo and USA Cycling’s BMX racing and freestyle programmes.

The donation was presented at the tour’s final show in Bristow, Virginia, on 23 October. The band said private contributions are important because the US does not directly fund its Olympic and Paralympic teams at federal level. Founding guitarist Zoltan Bathory said his own experience competing in judo made that support personal, while vocalist Ivan Moody recalled his childhood interest in BMX.
