As many of you may know, I have been part of a Seido karate dojo called Thousand Waves for nine years. At the dojo, I have learned leadership, confidence, and strength. I have been taught how to strengthen myself, and how to strengthen others. I've learned to walk a path of peace and nonviolence, and how to help others to do the same. I've only recently started teaching, but it has been one of the best, and most meaningful experiences of my life. And yet, Thousand Waves does not only teach students karate, There's so much to this incredible, life changing place.
Thousand Waves is a mission-driven not-for-profit in the city of Chicago that has been active in the community for over 33 years with a mission to foster fitness, healing, empowerment, and peacemaking.
Our Spirit Challenge Fundraiser supports Thousand Waves' work in three critical areas:
- Scholarship program, which provides funding for children and adults who wouldn't otherwise be able to study karate or self-defense.
- Adapted Seido Karate program (ASK), which provides karate for youth with disabilities.
- Self-Defense/Violence Prevention program, which provides Self-defense and Bystander Intervention workshops and courses all over the city.
In donating during Spirit challenge, you can support not only me, but also the many people that Thousand Waves impacts in the following years.
Thousand Waves was named based on the Japanese saying, "One wave sets thousands in motion." Thank you for helping us make waves!
