My name is Rita Rose Pasquale - most know me as "Sifu Rita" because I owned a Martial Arts School in Danvers, MA for almost 30 years with my husband Anthony "Master Anthony." We closed our school in October of 2023, but we are coming out of retirement for one day to teach a class for our student, Josh Pelletrino, to help raise money for his care.

Josh is only 13 years old and was recently diagnosed with bone cancer. We are raising money for his care and to help his family with any extra expenses that will occur during his treatment.

The event will be held on Sunday, June 22nd from 4:30 – 5:30 PM at Route 128 Honda on 88 Walkers Brook Drive in Reading. The room is being donated by my boss and the owner of Route 128 Honda, Dan Loggins. Parking is available in the front lot of the showroom, and the class will be held in the back of the building.

The karate class is a $20 donation per child. We will have t-shirts for sale during the event to help raise additional funds for his care.

We are also taking orders for T shirts - sizes CHILD S, M, L

ADULT S, M, L, XL, XXL $24.00

If anyone can't make the class but would still like to make a donation, your generosity will be greatly appreciated.
