Team PRIDE

If you are the parent of an ATA Martial Arts member, then you know firsthand how much Taekwondo benefits kids. You’ve seen your child learn life skills like confidence, courtesy and self-control thanks to the Karate for Kids program. I believe this program can change lives. And I'm asking for your help reaching the kids whose lives need changing most.

There are children in our community and throughout the United States who don’t have the advantages and opportunities that bless so many us. These children, the ones who can least afford to enroll in martial arts programs, are the kids who would benefit most from the life skills those programs teach.

Team PRIDE is dedicated to serving those kids. Our goal is to help low-income children develop the values and confidence needed to avoid criminal behavior and to succeed in school and beyond. With your help, we can enable at-risk children to participate in Karate for Kids programs so that they can develop PRIDE (perseverance, respect, integrity, discipline, excellence) in themselves and in their lives.

If your employer participates in a United Way Workplace Campaign, please consider designating Team PRIDE as your preferred charity. Team PRIDE's Federal Tax Identification Number is 65-1197820.

Because Team PRIDE is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization, your donations are tax-deductible. And we keep our administrative costs to a bare minimum so that almost every penny we raise is used to serve more children. For more information, please visit our website at www.prideforkids.org.

On behalf of the kids we serve, thank you.
