Join us for a ‘Judo – Community Fun Day’ as we come together in the best way we know how — through community, movement, and compassion. Our goal is to raise $1000 to contribute to the long road ahead for people experiencing the impacts of the floods and landslides around the country.
This cause is especially close to our hearts, as Coach Carla’s family and friends have been directly impacted, facing enormous challenges in the wake of the disaster.
All funds raised will go directly to families in urgent need, providing essential food, medical supplies, and temporary accommodation.
Torrential rains, floods and landslides triggered by Cyclone Ditwah have killed 153 people across Sri Lanka so far, with another 191 still missing and over 500,000 people impacted and displaced.
Just a little more on Palmera so you know the difference it will make.
Palmera has always been close to my heart because of the way they work—deeply, thoughtfully, and with those who are so often left out. They’re committed to helping families not just survive, but truly thrive. What I love most is that they do this by using proven models that focus on increasing income and meeting basic needs in a sustainable way. You can read more about how they work here.
When you give to Palmera, they’ll also show you exactly what your donation is doing. That transparency matters. You’ll see the real impact you’re making, and you’ll know that every dollar you give is transforming the lives of families and entire communities.
