On July 13, we proudly sponsored the 1st Coachella Valley Para Karate Tournament at Rancho Mirage High School. This historic event was a resounding success, bringing together participants, families, and supporters from across the valley. Our UCPIE students demonstrated incredible skill, determination, and sportsmanship, making us all proud.

The atmosphere was electric as our participants showcased their karate techniques, cheered on by an enthusiastic crowd. It was a day filled with inspiration, community spirit, and the celebration of abilities. “Seeing our athletes in their Karate Gi uniforms performing with confidence and grace, was truly inspiring.” said John Sprogis CEO of the UCPIE.
