“Today was a great opportunity to give back to the local community here in Melbourne,” said Pedro. “Being in UFC is cool. I get to do what I love by fighting and giving back to the community at great events like this. It’s great to be a part of it.”
Eat Up Australia is doing its part to help the 1 in 8 Australian students who arrive at school hungry each day. Since its inception in 2013, Eat Up Australia has delivered more than 750,000 lunches to students at over 550 schools throughout Victoria, New South Wales, and Queensland.
This is UFC’s second time partnering with Eat Up Australia. The first time was in 2016, when the organizations teamed up to prepare over 500 lunches for needy children. UFC prides itself in working with local partners and charities to give back to the communities that host UFC events during Fight Week.
