Dear Federation Representatives,

Thank you to everyone for your continued support of Team USA Kendo.

As many of you know, the International Kendo Federation decided to postpone the 18th World Kendo Championships ("18th WKC") previously scheduled to take place in May, 2021. While we don't know the official date the tournament has been rescheduled to, please rest assured that the members of Team USA have been diligently preparing to proudly represent each and every member of AUSKF.

As we continue our journey to the 18th WKC, we would like to announce the start of our fundraising campaign! Our first item will be a Team USA Kendo neck gaiter that's able to be worn over the face and mouth ($20/ea - please see attached for photos).

Please note that our non-medical masks are not intended for healthcare use or to prevent COVID-19 or any other disease. You should still follow all CDC-advised precautions and other advice from medical professionals. Additional precautions to protect from Covid-19 while wearing masks include handwashing, wearing gloves, and avoiding touching your face, and practicing social distancing.

Please forward this message to your federation's dojo's - we'd like to spread the word about this fundraiser to as many people as possible. If you or any federation members have any questions, please feel free to reply directly to this email.

Thank you again for your continued support of Team USA Kendo. We hope you and your families are staying safe and doing well during this difficult time.

Team USA Kendo
