Karate for a Cause

Join us every Labor Day weekend for Karate for a Cause, an awareness and fundraising event for Parkinson’s treatment and research, honoring those who use martial arts specifically to delay progression of their neurologic disorder.

Save the Date! Sunday, September 6, 2026 is our Labor Day annual outdoor training and get together. Meet on the field just south of the dojo parking lot, 3545 West Lake Av., Wilmette, at 10am for an hour of karate in the sunshine. Bring family and friends to share in the joy!
