This Easter weekend, a group of exceptional UCPIE Skill Builder athletes will head to Las Vegas to represent the USA on an international stage—competing in the US. This non-contact competition is a prestigious event that attract martial artists from around the globe—and our UCPIE athletes have worked incredibly hard to earn their spot.

Only the top 10% of UCPIE athletes are invited to compete. Selection is based not only on martial arts skill, but also on academic performance—athletes are required to maintain strong grades as part of their qualification. This program doesn’t just build physical ability—it builds confidence, focus, and a strong sense of discipline and pride.

Thanks to the generosity of our supporters, UCPIE covers the cost of karate tuition, exams and uniforms for these athletes throughout the year. However, we now need your help to raise the additional funds needed to support travel, lodging, and registration fees for these dedicated participants.

This is more than a tournament—it’s a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity for young people with disabilities to experience the pride of competing, representing their country, and proving to the world what inclusion and empowerment really look like.

Will you help send these young champions to Las Vegas?
