As we start a New Year, it is only natural that we look back at the past year. We smile at happy memories and resolve to put our disappointments behind us. We look forward with excitement to 2010 and hope that a new year brings good fortune to us, our friends and our families.

Unfortunately it is a sad fact of life that for many, thoughts of a new year bring only dread and fear. For children who have been abused and hurt by people that were supposed to care for them, a new year is just another year with the prospect of pain.

Together we can make a difference. We can put all the egos and politics aside to help abused kids start building positive memories.

Bob White’s Karate Studio (BWKS) is proud to host its Fifth Annual Youth Karate Tournament on Saturday March 13, 2010. Details can be found on http://www.bobwhiteinvitational.com.

All net proceeds from this event will be donated to benefit the Royal Family Kids Camp of Newport Mesa. RFKC has completed over 25 years of providing a free week of summer camp for children, ages 7 to 11, who have come from group homes and foster homes in Southern California. More information about the RFKC can be found at http://www.rfkc.org

Last year through the generosity of our sponsors, competitors and volunteers, BWKS was proud to support RFKC with a donation of $75,000. This donation allowed hundreds of additional kids to attend the annual summer camp and start to build positive memories.

We need your help. If you are interested in being a sponsor for this event, please visit http://www.bobwhiteinvitational.com.

We have some promotional videos up that describe the event and the benefits we can provide to the kids.

I realize that times are tough for many people but imagine how difficult it is for people who try to run these camps. Now, more than ever, the RFKC and the kids need our help. Every dollar helps and if you want to help make a difference in the lives of children who need our help, then the Bob White Invitational can be a starting point.

This is not about ego or telling everybody how great BWKS is. The team at BWKS makes no money and gets no financial benefit from their work. We do get the feeling that we are doing the right thing. I am very proud to be part of the BWI and hope that you will as well.

Regards,
Vishal Shukla
Tournament Director
