Represent USA in Grand Prix Marcinelle

Please help me raise funds to represent the USA Junior Judo National Team in the 18th annual International GRAND PRIX Marcinelle on May 31, 2014 in Marcinelle, France.

I have been actively practicing and competing in judo with Hawaii Tenri Judo Club for the last five and half years. I am currently rank #1 in the -52kg and #4 in the -47kg on the USA junior national roster.  My ultimate goal is to be able to qualify for the future USA Olympic Judo Team.

I recently competed in the 2014 USA Judo Youth & Scholastic Nationals in Irving, Texas and won GOLD in the Female Intermediate 2 -52Kg division.  Winning 1st in this competition has earned me a spot on the USA Junior Judo National Team and the opportunity to represent the USA in the upcoming international event:

International Grand Prix Marcinelle
Marcinelle, France
May 31, 2014

The chance to compete on an international level is an ideal opportunity for me because it will allow me to grow as an athlete and will be beneficial towards my journey of ultimately making the Olympic team.

Off the mat, I practice and dance hula in the competition class at Halau Na Mamo O Puuanahulu. I am the oldest of three and I currently attend middle school.  I am on the track team, in student government and play the tenor saxophone in my school's band and Honor band. I am also part of the Club Mid leadership team at my YMCA.

Unfortunately, there is little financial support for aspiring Judo  athletes in the U.S and any contribution from you would be greatly appreciated as I try to accomplish my goals.  Thank you and Mahalo for all your support!!

Aloha,

Charlize Jasmine Pascual-Tabuyo
