Help Sakura Kokumai Train for the Olympic Games

Hello!

Please help Sakura Kokumai, the first American karate-do athlete to qualify for the Tokyo Olympic Games in Japan! She's been training on her own and needs our love and support so she can focus on what she needs to do to bring home gold.

Sakura is 100% committed to training and thus, has no job. The expenses associated with her training are mounting as we get closer to the 2021 Tokyo Olympic Games. She gets very little support and lives off a stipend and sponsorships, and it's not enough. She currently has no car and has to rent one in order to get to her strength coach, physical therapy, etc. She needs our help and I'm hoping we can support Sakura so she can achieve her goals and bring home a medal for the United States!

About Sakura Kokumai

Sakura was born in Hawaii and has been training karate since she was seven years old. She believes in helping others and is an inspiration to our youth whom she often goes out of her way to teach and help. Sakura has also been vocal in the fight against anti-Asian hate. Recently, she was verbally harassed and threatened while training in a park in the city of Orange. Instead of being silent, Sakura stepped up and advocated for Asian Americans.

Sakura is also a member of the USA Karate National Team and has won numerous titles. Help support Sakura on her journey by donating today.
