Mahalo to Our Generous Donors

The Judo Black Belt Association of Hawaii (JBBAH) is reaching out to supporters like you to continue fostering the growth and development of Judo in Hawaii. As a black belt and valued member of our community, your involvement plays a crucial role in maintaining and expanding the tradition of Kodokan Judo on the islands. Through the Ippon Club, we offer an opportunity for Judo advocates to show their unwavering support by making tax-deductible contributions. Your donations directly fund a variety of initiatives, including tournaments, clinics, referee training, kata workshops, and programs that enhance the skills of both black belts and students.

As a member of the Ippon Club, you will receive a commemorative plaque for contributions of $100 or more, with space for up to 9 annual donations. This plaque serves as a lasting recognition of your support for Judo in Hawaii. Your contributions also help sustain the critical rank promotion process, which is key to personal and organizational growth.

Your generosity ensures the continued success and legacy of Hawaii Judo. The JBBAH and Ippon Club are incredibly grateful for your support, and we look forward to seeing you at our future events.
