Raijin Sumo Club

NC Sumo is facing a tough challenge after their equipment was stolen, including all of our mawashi belts that are vital for competition. This setback threatens their ability to host events and support young athletes. Please consider donating or sharing to help rebuild their community and ensure sumo can thrive in North Carolina.

Every bit helps! Please be safe and we will see everyone at the next community event!
