Martial Arts Benefit for Quake Victims

If you're wondering about the difference in contact information, it's because Li Shudong has agreed to take on the Chinese speakers and we've agreed to take on the English speakers. We are actually both capable of doing either, but there are more English speakers here and more Chinese speakers there, so it was more convenient.

This is coming together very quickly, so please jump in if you can. We are looking for contributions, not just cash, but also items for raffle and silent auction. There's more info on the website, which we are now updating on a daily basis. You can make cash donations directly there via paypal. The Tiger Claw Foundation is a fully accredited non-profit organization, so cash donations are tax deductible. If you have an item to donate, it must be delivered to our office here in Fremont by Friday (only 4 days away).

Thank you for your support.

Both David Ross and Dale Dugas have pledged to deliver items for our raffle. The MSRP for these donations is tax deductible. All item donations will be fully acknowledged upon receipt. Raffle items must arrive here at our office by Friday to be included. Any late items will not be returned.

Additionally, there was news coverage on KCNS 38 (Chinese TV) late last night. I hope some of you caught that program. Gigi Oh was on representing the Tiger Claw Foundation.

Design Sifu and I just updated TigerClawFoundation.org again. We're updating daily until this weekend. This update added performers and sponsors.

Be sure to come out and support this Benefit. It's amazing what can be put together in just two weeks, especially when there's a good cause.

Rose He, who is a member of the Martial Arts Benefit for Quake Victims organizing committee, just donated three Chinese brush paintings for our silent auction.

Dr. Effie Chow just donated three DVD and book packages for our raffle.

Keep those prizes coming! I need to receive everything by tomorrow!

We suspect that many people are buying tickets just to show support and won't actually go to the show. Such is Chinese community sometimes. So there's still plenty of tickets that will be available at the door, but come early. We are totally hoping to sell out.
