<div>For 46 years, Hand to Hand Kajukenbo Self Defense Center has been a home for training, transformation, and community in Oakland. Today, we are moving forward with a new path.

</div>

<div><br />

</div>

<div>We have the opportunity to remain in our current space for the next two years. We have also secured a future home at the East Bay Meditation Center, where a new training space will be built to support our community for years to come.

</div>

<div><br />

</div>

<div><strong>This next chapter is possible, but it comes with real costs. We are raising $46,000 in honor of 46 years to support this transition and carry our legacy forward.</strong>

</div>

<div><br />

</div>

<div>Your contribution will directly support:

</div>

<ul>

<li><strong>$14,000</strong> in increased rent over the next two years

</li>

<li><strong>$15,000</strong> to build a new wood training floor in our future space

</li>

<li><strong>$5,000</strong> in moving costs

</li>

<li><strong>$12,000</strong> in scholarship funds to keep our training accessible

</li>

</ul>

<div><br />

</div>

<div>Established by our founder, the late Coleen Gragen, Hand to Hand has been more than a place to train. It has been a space of transformation and self-empowerment—a place to build strength, confidence, and connection. Thousands have walked through our doors to learn martial arts, practice self-defense, and find community.

</div>

<div><br />

</div>

<div>We remain committed to offering accessible programming for women, LGBTQAI+ folks, and people of color, including sliding-scale classes, scholarships, and community self-defense programs.

</div>

<div><br />

</div>

<div>As one student shared:

</div>

<div><br />

</div>

<div>“Each hour I spend on the training floor makes me a better person… a more confident, compassionate, and powerful person. I am profoundly grateful for this school and my teachers.” —Marianne, Green Belt

</div>

<div><br />

</div>

<div><b>Thanks to this community, we have already raised over $10,000 toward this goal.</b> This brings us close to covering the increased rent that will allow us to remain in our current home during this transition.

</div>

<div><br />

</div>

<div>This is a moment of change but also an opportunity to build with intention. Your support helps ensure that Hand to Hand continues to be a place of strength, connection, and transformation for years to come. Please consider donating and sharing this campaign with others who believe in this work.

</div>

<div><br />

</div>

<div>With gratitude,

</div>

<div>Professor Sonya Richardson and The Hand to Hand Community
