Five years after starting at Thousand Waves, I continue to feel as passionately about their mission as I did back when I started. They are a not-for-profit organization that has been around for 33 years spreading their mission to foster fitness, healing, empowerment and peacemaking. Pretty ambitious, right? It is. But it is a contagious mission and they do it one person at a time, one self defense class at a time, one interaction at a time - and those people and classes and interactions foster others and so on and so on. "One wave sets thousands in motion."
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. No one is turned away because they can't afford classes.
- 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.
