Welcome to the Spirit of Breakthroughs International Photo Contest 2025!
We invite you to share your creativity and be part of a global celebration of movement, resilience, and community.
This special fundraiser supports Breakthroughs International, a nonprofit bringing movement-based and kinesiology programs to individuals and communities around the world. From stress relief to improved learning, our unique tools help people of all ages rediscover who they are without stress patterns — and realign with what matters most.

midnight (11:59:59 PM Pacific Time) on Wednesday, October 29, 2025.
How It Works:
- Enter your photo for a $5 donation.
