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!

Awesome Day at Kajukenbo Arizona!

Saturday, October 4th was a great day to be at Kaju AZ!

Grandmaster Forbach, Professor Joe Stubbs and Professor Mark Vorbau treated students from many schools with an amazing self-defense seminar. We are honored to have them in our Ohana! Grandmaster shared so many wonderful stories about Sijo Emperado and we learned so much not only from his amazing Kaju skills, but from his experiences! He is truly an inspiration to all of us!

Thank you to Grandmaster Ted Sotelo for stopping by as well as his generous donation to our auction. Kajukenbo was well represented by all the many schools who came and supported this event.

Special thanks to our Professor George Lim and Sigung Aunty Patrice Lim. Their kindness is overwhelming. Our Kaju AZ and Lim Kenpo support team - made up of students and parents - really make it easy to host a large event!

Finally, thank you to all that supported our charity BBQ events for Multiple Sclerosis and Katie Crowder! Our BBQ lunch raised $510 for MS and we received many bids in our silent auction. Don't forget that the bidding will continue until our MS Demo, Brick Breaking Event and BBQ on October 18th.

This was an inspirational and emotional day to feel all the Kajukenbo history, pride and generosity! We look forward to more events like this one in the future.
