Help Eliot and His Family

A Call for Support: Help Eliot and His Family 💙

This week, our hearts are with one of our own, Eliot, a beloved 7-year-old member of Abadá-Capoeira Marin. Tragically, Eliot’s father passed away last week, leaving behind Eliot, his twin 3-year-old sisters, and their mom.
As a community, we have the power to help them through this difficult time. We’ve set up a GoFundMe to offer support and help ensure they have a warmer and more stable year-end.

🙏 Every donation—big or small—makes a difference. Let’s show them the love, compassion, and strength that our Capoeira family is known for.

Thank you for helping us support Eliot and his family in their time of need. Your kindness means the world. 💛💚a family!

Help Us Build on a Year of Triumphs!

 

Dear Friends and Supporters,

2024 has been a year of incredible accomplishments for ABADÁ-Capoeira Marin, made possible by your generosity and the unwavering passion of our community. As the year comes to a close, I want to share our achievements, reflect on the heart of our work, and invite you to join us in making the coming year even brighter.

2024: A Year to Remember
This year, we reached new milestones that deepened our impact:

  • Batizado and Graduation Ceremony: Our annual event was more vibrant than ever, featuring workshops with world-renowned masters and celebrating the growth of our students with unforgettable rodas.
  • Parade Wins: We brought home First Place at the Larkspur-Corte Madera Fourth of July Parade and Second Place at the Fairfax Parade, showcasing the art of Capoeira to our wider community.
  • Marin County Fair: Participated in this cherished event, connecting with countless attendees and introducing them to the rhythm, movement, and joy of Capoeira.
  • Youth Empowerment: Continued offering Capoeira instruction across Marin and beyond, reaching hundreds students in school-day residencies and conducting regular afterschool classes.
  • Inclusivity in Action: Provided Capoeira classes for special education students at Compass Academy.
  • Cultural Enrichment: Performed at and hosted cultural events and live Capoeira performances, strengthening community ties and preserving Afro-Brazilian traditions.
  • Global Participation: Instrutora Ciranda participated on the Campeonato Brasileiro da Abadá-Capoeira, and Zumbimba held for the first time in the Quilombo dos Palmares

Today, I want to share a story that embodies why your support during this season of giving matters so deeply.

Let’s step into the shoes of Instrutora Ciranda, our two-time Capoeira World Champion and the dedicated president of ABADÁ-Capoeira Marin. For nearly a decade, she has woven the rich tapestry of Afro-Brazilian culture into the lives of Marin’s children.

Ciranda’s story is one of passion and resilience. As she steps into classrooms and community centers across Marin—places like Twin Cities, Marin Horizon, Ross Valley Charter, and Compass Academy—she transforms spaces into vibrant rodas where children’s laughter, music, and movement bring Capoeira to life.

Her teaching extends far beyond kicks and acrobatics. Through Capoeira, she empowers children with confidence, discipline, and a deep connection to culture.

Let’s Build the Future Together

As we celebrate these achievements, we know there’s more to do. With your help, we can:

  • Expand our school programs to reach even more students.
  • Provide scholarships for children from underserved communities.
  • Host additional cultural events and workshops.

Why Give Now?
Your donation today directly supports these efforts. It helps keep the roda spinning, ensuring that more children experience the joy and growth that Capoeira brings. This season of giving is the perfect time to make an impact. Donations are tax-deductible, and many companies offer matching campaigns, doubling the power of your generosity.

Thank you for making 2024 an unforgettable year for ABADÁ-Capoeira Marin. Together, we can step into 2025 with even more momentum, connection, and resilience.

Instrutora Ciranda, and the ABADÁ-Capoeira Marin Family
