The 7th Annual Bob White Invitational

From the Tournament Director    

Dear Friends and fellow Martial Artists,

  

It is incredibly heartwarming to see the Kenpo Community continue to come together to support the RFKC. When we first started holding the BWI, we were KK for RFKCfortunate to have fine men like Steve LaBounty, John Sepulveda and Eddie Downey get on board and encourage their students to support the RFKC. Since then, many other great friends have become part of the team.

 

People like Paul Dye, Ron Sanchez, Todd Durgan, Erik Akutagawa, Chris Stewart, Chris Herrman, Stan Hatfield, Bobby Lawrence and others have taught seminars or held tournaments and donated the proceeds to the RFKC.

 

Other friends like Tom Bleecker, Edmund Parker, Ted Sumner, and Rich Hale continue to donate items for auction and raise funds through their actions.

 

Steve Cooper and Dana Stamos continue to use their connections in the martial arts community to inform thousands of people about the RFKC.

 

Dan Hect and the Master's Hall of Fame have donated money and are selling special collector coins for the RFKC. In 2012 Bob White will be the keynote speaker at the MOH, giving him a chance to reach out to hundreds of distinguished martial artists.

 

There are also people raising funds for the RFKC in ways that have nothing to do with karate. There have been restaurant fundraisers, light shows and kids selling hot chocolate. Every dollar raised helps an abused child see a brighter future.

 

We are incredibly grateful for all the support and encourage others to get involved. Knowing that you have made a difference in the life of a child is incredibly rewarding. 

 

For the kids,

Vishal Shukla

Why I Support The Bob White Invitational

By Tom Bleecker
 

"Renowned author Joseph Campbell (The Power of Myth) once said, "To the whole world you might be just one person, but to one person you might just be the whole world." This single quote resonates in my ears when I reflect on the work that Bob White does in helping the children who benefit from the funds donated by the Bob White Invitational."
