Spirit Challenge 2024

Participants of the Spirit Challenge 2023 Bo Workshop in front of the Thousand Waves Shinzen holding bo.

Thank you for supporting Thousand Waves major annual fundraiser! Donations support the Ann Morris and Vada Woods Scholarship fund, which enables about 15% of our members to train with us. The fundraiser also supports our Adapted Seido Karate program for children with movement challenges, as well as all of our self-defense workshops.

Members and supporters create fundraising pages online and reach out to their network of family, friends, and colleagues to solicit donations in support of our mission-driven work. Our 2024 goal is $100,000! Fundraising starts April 6, then we’ll hold an Events Week for all who raise $100+ May 5-11. Other great incentives await those who raise considerably more.

This flyer details other incentives and the schedule for events week.
