Bushfire Relief

Arnold Classic Taekwondo World Championships

The Arnold Classic Taekwondo World Championships and Arnold Kids Classic Taekwondo is supporting the Australian Bushfire relief Fund by donating all TKD spectator funds paid by the Arnold Sports Festival Australia and a portion of participants fees to the Red Cross, via GoFundMe.

Donate Here

We encourage the Taekwondo community, whether you’re able to attend the Arnold Classic Taekwondo World Championships in Melbourne March 20-22nd, 2020 or not, to reach into your pocket and make a donation. You might also consider sharing the link for this appeal among your club and network of Taekwondo Colleagues.

Please join me in making a difference? I’m raising money in aid of Australian Red Cross and every donation will help.Your donation to Red Cross Disaster Relief and Recovery helps our emergency teams to do their work – including the bushfires we’re currently seeing across Australia.

The generosity of the Taekwondo community has the power to have a positive impact on the lives of so many Australian’s tragically affected by these disastrous events.

It warms my heart to see al over social media the great work many of you are doing, and I am sure there are others with little fanfare doing their bit.

We will also organize a couple of other initiatives which will contribute to the target. Keep an eye out.

Purchase Taekwondo Spectator Passes to support the cause.

Note, although we set up and are promoting the fundraiser, we are not receiving any of the donated money at all – that is collected by GoFundMe and passed on directly to the Red Cross.

For those who have been more directly impacted, we wish you strength and hope that your losses have only been material.

Thank you in advance for your support

Yours in Taekwondo,
Michael Muleta
