An Event Tent For The Taekwondo Kids

Edit: Thank you everyone for the donations! We have surpassed our goal and that is absolutely amazing. Now that we passed our goal anything extra will continue to be used for outdoor items for the comfort of our students such as fans to create a breeze on those hot summer days. Again thank you everyone for all the donations and support so far. It is really amazing seeing everyone come together to help us and our students. Can’t wait to get back to the mats soon!! Hello everyone, My name is John Lodermeier with my brother Jake Lodermeier and we are instructors at Singewald’s ATA family martial arts here in Prior lake MN. To hear our story please watch our video https://youtu.be/ZzQ_U261dnA Here’s the short version...... During this time of uncertainty we are doing our very best to still provide the best customer service to our students and their families. With what is going on in the world today small business’s are being crippled due to being shutdown and I would be at a loss of words if my parents lost everything they built over that last 12 years. Due to COVID-19 and the the precautionary steps we are taking we are unable to run our regular inside classes, however we can still run our classes outside! The good news is it will be warm out, the bad news is the sun will be shining down all day making it a little too warm. Ronnie and my Mom came up with a great idea of purchasing two large 20ft by 40ft tents to shade the parking lot so our students can continue to comfortably train. However those tents can run upwards of $5,000. The reason behind this go fund me is to help raise money to purchase those tents or help purchasing the tents. ANY DONATIONS HELP!!!!! Whether it be $1 or $500 it will all go a long ways! The Governor has not given us a date to open and we won’t stand to watch our business crumble. Time to get creative....one thing I’ve taught my students is that it’s okay to ask for help when you need it. I believe we live in a wonderful and caring community and here is our cry for help. Thank you to everyone who supported us from the start and we will rise above this together!
