Who We Are
In the aftermath of a suicide, family, friends and communities respond in different ways. When Brittany died by suicide in March of 2016, her family and friends decided that no one else should experience such a profound and life-altering loss. Fight Like A Ninja was founded to keep Brittany’s light in this world doing the things she loved most, playing hockey and helping others. Since then, Fight Like A Ninja has grown into so much more than a scholarship and a hockey tournament. We have grown into being able to offer support and partnerships with other non-profits to continue to pursue the lifesaving vision and mission to Start Conversations that so many have no idea they need to have.
What We Do
Our Mission is to use the game we all love to start conversations about mental health and suicide. The Fight Like a Ninja Scholarship was set up to honor Brittany "The Ninja" Corcoran's memory. It will be awarded each year to a girl hockey player in SD.
