Aaron Alberg's Fundraiser

Thank you for supporting Thousand Waves
Your generous contributions will help us maintain access and affordability in our karate and self-defense programs during the challenge of the pandemic
We are no longer accepting donations on this campaign, but there are other ways for you to support us today!
Hello friends and family!
You may (or may not) know that I have been training in Seido Karate at Thousand Waves, a 501(c)3 non-profit organization for over 11 years now. That's a really long time for a 19 year old. The community at Thousand Waves is one of the most amazing and supportive I have ever been a part of and their impact on myself and others is immeasurable.
Unfortunately, the ongoing pandemic has had a serious financial impact because of the nature of the work we do. I am asking for donations because they will sustain our capacity to attract and retain a diverse membership and help us restart our self-defense program. Even through the pandemic, Thousand Waves has held that financial status is not a decider of who can do karate, and scholarships are provided to all who need them.
My personal goal for this year is $1000. Since I'm not in Chicago training, I am trying to do my part to keep this organization alive and I hope you will consider helping keep our school running.
With love and gratitude,
Aaron
