Hi Friends and Family, I am partnering with Capoeira Arts Foundation and raising money for 2018 Capoeira Arts Foundation Roda-thon.

For the past 40 years, Mestre Acordeon and UCA Berkeley have been pioneers for Capoeira in the US. Sponsor friends, contribute to a powerful legacy, inspire camaraderie, and support a dynamic and beautiful community.

UCA Berkeley is facing a financial crisis with UCA’s non-profit organization’s sudden loss of a $60,000 operating grant from a foundation that supported Capoeira Arts Foundation (CAF) for 15 years. This grant helped us sustain Projeto Kirimurê; provide scholarships for youth and adults; pick up the slack when monthly revenues swung low; and supplement batizados or projects as needed. This grant represented our “safety net” to supplement revenue shortfalls.

Your contributions to UCA’s non-profit, Capoeira Arts Foundation (CAF), will make a big difference! I sincerely appreciate your support for this fundraiser and my goal. You can donate now and by hitting “Give Now” on the upper right.

I appreciate it so very much.

Thank you for joining me!
