About the Fight Like a Ninja

Fight Like A Ninja was born out of the deepest heartbreak Brittany’s family has ever known after losing Brittany to suicide. What started as a way to honor her life has grown into something much bigger than they could have imagined. It has become a movement of hope, connection, and people showing up for each other. Brittany’s light, her heart, and the way she made people feel still lead this work every single day. At their core, Fight Like A Ninja is here to start conversations about mental health and make sure people know they do not have to struggle alone. We know pain can be isolating. We know grief can be heavy. We also know the power of being seen, heard, and loved through it. That is what they are building through every event, program, and conversation, a community where people feel safe enough to open up and strong enough to keep going.

Many people know Fight Like a Ninja through their annual girls hockey tournament, which is one of the most special parts of our year. It brings together athletes, families, volunteers, and supporters in a way that is full of energy, purpose, and heart. They also award the Brittany Corcoran Scholarship each year to a graduating senior female hockey player who leads with character, compassion, and strength. Hockey may be where many people meet us, but the heart of our mission reaches far beyond the rink.

” Our vision is a world where mental health conversations are normal, support is accessible, and no one has to struggle or grieve alone. We envision communities united by courage, compassion, and connection, where hope grows, lives are impacted, and Brittany’s light continues to inspire change.“

Fight Like A Ninja continues to grow through programs that support both mental health awareness and grief support. From their Seeds of HOPE retreat for loss survivors, to Locker Room Talks, to our Reach-In Caring Companion program, they are working to create spaces where healing and honest conversation can happen. This work is personal to us. It is not just something they do. It is something they live. Fight Like a Ninja is taking the hardest parts of their story and using them to help others feel less alone in theirs.

None of this happens without the incredible people who stand beside them. Fight Like a Ninja volunteers, donors, sponsors, and supporters are their Ninja Army, and they are a huge part of the hope they get to carry into the world. There are so many ways to be part of this mission, whether that means volunteering at an event, sponsoring a program, making a donation, or simply helping us start conversations that matter.

Fight Like A Ninja is about turning pain into purpose, tears into action, and love into something that keeps reaching people long after loss. They are honored to do this work in Brittany’s name, and are grateful for every person who chooses to walk alongside them. Together, Fight Like a Ninja is reminding people that hope is real, help is needed, and no one should ever have to fight alone.
