Help me reach my goal for the UCA Hayward Roda-thon!

Hello Friends and Family,

I’m excited to share that I am training for the 2026 UCA Hayward Cultural Festival at UCA Hayward this March! It is an annual celebration that brings together the power of our Capoeira community!  

Capoeira has become a huge part of my life the last three years of my life. I love improving my skills and playing with my friends. I will be getting my 4th belt!

To help make this festival a success, I’m participating in a Roda-thon. This is a pledge-based fundraiser where I’ll be putting my skills to work in the "Roda" (the Capoeira circle) to raise money for our community.

Your donation will help:

• Support the Festival: Helping our school host this amazing cultural event in Hayward.

• Keep it Accessible: Providing financial assistance so that every student and family can afford to participate, regardless of their budget.

How to Sponsor Me:

Any amount makes a difference! Whether it’s $5, $25, or $50, your support helps me reach my personal goal of $300.

All donations are tax-deductible through our fiscal sponsor: Beloved Communities Network (Tax ID: 20-1037643).

Thank you for supporting my Capoeira journey and helping our school grow!

With gratitude,

Tomate (Elio)
