Corrected Link – USAF Donations Deadline Is Fast Approaching

As many of you know, the USAF has been collecting donations as a gesture of the USAF’s deep appreciation for what New York Aikikai, under the leadership and guidance of Yamada Sensei, has given, and continues to offer, to the USAF community and the greater aikido community world-wide.

A sincere thank you to all the dojos, instructors, members and friends who have already made a donation.  If you would like to make a donation to the USAF, you can do so until the deadline of July 20th, by clicking below.   A presentation of the USAF’s donation to the New York Aikikai will be made at this year’s summer camp, along with a card displaying the names of all who have contributed to this half-century celebration!
