Hi Friends and Family, I am partnering with Capoeira Arts Foundation to try to raise much needed funds for the 2018 Capoeira Arts Foundation Roda-thon. I sincerely appreciate your support to reach my individual goal of $2,000, and our overall goal of $60,000. You can donate now and by hitting “Give Now” on the upper right.

The capoeira school that I was raised in is in danger of having to close it's doors. The UCA Berkeley school, aka Capoeira Arts Foundation - non-profit 501(c)(3), recently found out that a long standing annual grant of $60,000 would be moving in a new direction and as such left my capoeira home for the past 20+ years in a very difficult situation. This grant was a major part of keeping the doors open and allowing the school's non-profit arm to offer programs for children here in our community and abroad in Brazil to find success.  It also provided a firm base to fund a host of other valuable capoeira related projects. With the loss of this grant, UCA Berkeley is scrambling to reorganize and consolidate their priorities in order to be able to continue their day to day activities.  Will you help me support this iconic Capoeira school?

You can give with any major credit card and it only takes 30 seconds. I appreciate it so very much.

Thank you for joining me!

What is the Roda-thon?

The Roda-thon is a FUN pledge based fundraiser where participants play as many capoeira games as possible. Suggested minimums are $1 per game or a flat contribution of $20, but any and all contributions will go a long way to helping us achieve our goal.

As in many fundraisers of this nature, participants will look to raise funds through their extended networks of family, friends, coworkers, neighbors, etc. All contributions are tax deductible per US tax laws.
