ABOUT US
What if breaking world records could change lives? The World Record Breakers Club is a nonprofit transforming daring World Record attempts into powerful fundraising and awareness campaigns for at-risk youth. By capturing global attention through thrilling challenges, we inspire communities to support at-risk youth through donations, sponsorships, and grants.
Every record we set isn't just about making history; it's about inspiring others and providing young people with resources, opportunities, and hope. Join us in making history, not just in the record books but in the lives of those who need it most.
Our founder, Johnny Cruz Buckingham, a Major in the U.S. Air Force, is a dedicated leader, world traveler, and passionate advocate for service and mentorship. Born to a Filipino immigrant mother and a San Francisco Bay Area father who were both public school teachers, Johnny grew up with a sense of adventure, a hard work ethic, and a dedication to helping others.
He was recruited to play tennis at the U.S. Air Force Academy, where he began his lifelong commitment to service and giving back, volunteering with organizations like Big Brothers Big Sisters, Habitat for Humanity, and the American Red Cross. Johnny’s military career as a KC-135 tanker pilot has taken him across the globe, and his love for travel led him to set a Guinness World Record for the “Fastest time to visit all seven continents.”
He founded the World Record Breakers Club (WRBC), a nonprofit dedicated to inspiring others and raising funds for at-risk youth through exciting world record attempts. Through his work, Johnny’s story reflects his unyielding dedication to helping others and making the world a better place.
Johnny is currently setting world records, but his vision is to inspire world-class athletes and changemakers to join him—breaking records while using their achievements to uplift and empower others.
