Kaju AZ Ohana Raises Over $6,000 for MS!


Thank you to all who made our MS events successful! Our events began with Grandmaster Forbach's Seminar on October 4th (Grandmaster and Katie are pictured above.) and ended with our Demo Team Performance, Brick Breaking and final BBQ on October 18th.

We appreciate all the generous donations, bidders and all the extra work from our students and Ohana. Katie Crowder was the real force behind our success and we are grateful for her sharing her powerful story. This is an inspirational story you should read again!

We are especially grateful for all our Lim Kenpo Ohana donations and bidders. We received bids from all over the US and even Portugal!

Our brick breakers received over $1,700 in pledges. What a great Breaking Team!

Thank you to our BBQ Experts, Derald Mullenaux and David Booth! Our lunches raised $998 and we appreciate all the families and friends that filled their plates for a great cause.

Marian Wright Edelman said, “Service is the rent we pay to be living.” We look forward to future ways to “pay our rent.”

You can still donate to Katie's Team for the MS Walk on November 8th.

Thanks again for making a difference in all our lives!

Sifu Kelly and Simou Jennifer Corder

I want to extend my thanks to all who participated and shared in the events. Not only is Katie an inspiration, but so are all those who hosted, donated, sponsored and bid. Thank you for continuing to inspire me.
