Martial Arts Benefit for Quake Victims


On May 12th, 2008, a devastating earthquake struck Sichuan, China. The loss of life and property was tremendous. Two days later, a group of concerned individuals met and formed the Martial Arts Benefit for Quake Victims Organizing Committee. In only eleven days, the committee called upon leading local martial artists and produced the Martial Arts Benefit for Quake Victims, a fundraising performance. The performance was held on Saturday May 24th, 2008 at the Ultimate Internationals. The Ultimate Internationals is a Tiger Claw Elite Championship Qualifier, organized by Ray and Debbie Delgado. With their kind cooperation, Martial Arts Benefit for Quake Victims performed to a sold-out audience at the Santa Clara Convention Center in the heart of California's Silicon Valley.
