This Giving Tuesday, please consider donating to Washington Judo Academy π ββWe are a 501(c)(3) nonprofit β€οΈ, so 100% of your donation will go to our mission of promoting the Olympic sport of Judo and providing world-class training opportunities for the community. Many employers offer double matching for donations on Giving Tuesday, making it an excellent time to support us.
Since our inception, we have hosted numerous world-class athletes and Olympians, including Nick Delpopolo, Haruka Tachimoto, Megumi Tachimoto, and the phenomenal Senseis from Judo Yokohama. Your donation will help us bring more world-class athletes to the Pacific Northwest.
Our dedicated volunteers manage and maintain the dojo, often absorbing many of the costs associated with bringing and hosting world-class senseis and maintaining the club. All proceeds collected by the dojo are reinvested into our community for events, equipment, and more. Your contribution will support our ongoing efforts to promote Judo and bring world-class athletes to our region.
If you are donating through your employer, you should find us listed among the nonprofits. Our EIN is 92-2862450. Alternatively, you can donate by check, cash, or through our online payment form at https://www.wajudo.com/donate. We will provide a tax receipt upon request.
Thank you so much,
Washington Judo Academy π²π₯
