As you know, Emma and Jude take karate classes every week here in Austin!  What you might not know is that their dojo is a local feminist, inclusive, and nonprofit organization called Sun Dragon Martial Arts & Self Defense. While this is their martial arts school, it's also an organization that works to give self defense and violence prevention skills to people that need them.

Most of the teachers and assistants are volunteers, and they give scholarships to other students who wouldn’t normally be able to take a self defense workshop or join a karate program. This fundraiser, Kickathon, is our annual fundraiser to provide low-to-no cost workshops to the Austin community, and to give tuition scholarships to students so anyone can train with us – regardless of their financial circumstances.

Anything you can donate is so greatly appreciated. Sun Dragon is an amazing community, and relies heavily on donations from the people that love us. ALSO: If we get at least 10 sponsors, we get to break a board at Kickathon (so feel free to leave a small donation for each member of your family individually)!!!!!
