Second Annual Tai-Chi-A-Thon June 15: BTC Students Seek Sponsors Per Hour of Practice-- Late Spring 2008

Here’s a way to put some fun into fundraising. Last year’s tai-chi-a-thon raised $6,000, drew a surprising crowd considering it was relatively unpublicized, and gave old and new students a chance to practice together for four hours (10am–2pm) as well as socialize. This year we’ve set the fundraising goal-post higher, at $10,000. Pledge request forms will be available as the date draws nearer.

Students will form clusters to practice Gods and Heaven & Earth chi gung, tai chi Short and Long Form, sitting groups for Taoist meditation, and more. The day offers a cross section of everything taught at BTC, a chance especially for newer students to gain exposure beyond basic classes to all that goes on here. Every $100 in pledges earns you a free raffle ticket, and the prizes are enticing. BTC will offer a year’s worth of free classes. Bruce Frantzis’ EnergyArts will offer either a free week of summer training in California or free Long Form instructor training at BTC in October. Watch chi mail for developments.
