DONATE TO TCY\ The cost of putting ten Tai Chi Youth students through an entire year of classes is less than the cost to taxpayers of keeping one kid in jail. Which would you rather finance? We hope you'll agree with us that your money is better spent helping kids learn to learn rather than buying bullets to shoot them, or cages to imprison them in. Police statistics report that every afternoon between 3:30pm and 5:00pm is when more youth crimes are committed than any other time. Tai Chi Youth is more than a baby-sitter to keep kids out of trouble, we make them smarter and healthier at the same time. Once we have established our own school location, we will have more programs for more age groups. Our Tai Chi Youth Programs are currently offered "on-site" at public schools, private schools, churches, community centers, rehabs, hospitals, and business offices. Although our foundation is rooted in Youth Corrections, and elementary, jr. high, and high school programs, our Bylaws and Missions Statement specify that we will provide programs for ages 8 to 80. By enrolling in any of our Tai Chi Youth seminars, classes, or afterschool programs, you are receiving valuable instruction and information as well as supporting Tai Chi Youth. By donating a scholarship, you help the life and future of not only the youth who receives the scholarship, but all the people they interact with now, and in the future. Supporting Tai Chi Youth is a way of improving the world. It is a fundamental goal of Tai Chi Youth to lessen violence in the world by reducing the desire for violence in each of our students. If you can't attend any of classes, or afford to donate any money, perhaps there are other ways you could help us. As a Tai Chi Youth Volunteer you are vital participant in our tournaments, seminars, and performances. Many of our students and supporters have donated services or goods, such as the Caputo brothers who brought sandwiches to many of our TCY Board of Trustees Meetings. Your donations to Tai Chi Youth make the world a better place.
