At the Atlantic-Pacific Tang Soo Do Foundation, we are committed to empowering at-risk youth by teaching them valuable life skills, discipline, and confidence through martial arts. This year, we have an incredible opportunity to take approximately 25 of our at-risk youth students to the 2025 International Karate Championships on July 19th in Arlington, Texas. However, we need your help to make this dream a reality!
We are raising $7,500 to $10,000 to cover all travel expenses, including transportation, lodging, meals, and other incidentals for these students. For many of them, this will be their first time traveling outside their communities, and it will be a life-changing experience that allows them to showcase their skills, build confidence, and connect with peers from around the world.
In addition to supporting our students, we are also raising funds to bring Kyosa Nim Bibek Giri from Nepal to participate in the championships. Kyosa Nim Giri is an inspiring martial artist whose presence will not only enrich the event but also serve as a powerful example of perseverance and dedication for our students.
This event is more than just a competition—it’s an opportunity for these young individuals to grow, learn, and be inspired. By supporting this campaign, you are helping to provide them with an experience that will leave a lasting impact on their lives.
How You Can Help:
- Donate: Every contribution, no matter the size, brings us closer to our goal.
- Share: Spread the word about our campaign with your friends, family, and community.

Your generosity will help us empower the next generation of leaders and give them the tools they need to succeed. Thank you for your support in making this dream come true for our students!
