🐉 Help Us Save Our Community Landmark in Altadena

For over 30 years, Two Dragons Martial Arts has been a cornerstone of the Altadena community — a safe place where children, families, and neighborscome together to grow in strength, confidence, and unity.

After the devastating fire, our beloved space was reduced to ashes. But our spirit remains unbroken — and now we have a chance to buy back the land where it all began. Keeping this property community-owned ensures it continues to serve as a hub for youth programs, senior wellness, cultural events, and local partnerships for generations to come.

We are deeply grateful for the incredible generosity you’ve shown over the past 10 months. Your donations have helped us stay active, rebuild programs, and continue serving families while we recover. Because of your kindness, Two Dragons is still standing strong — teaching, healing, and inspiring hope. ❤️

Now, the moment we’ve been preparing for is here — bids for this land are happening right now, and we must act fast to keep it in community hands and protect this legacy for future generations.

✨ Here’s how you can help:

Donate whatever you can — every dollar brings us closer to our goal.
Share this campaign with friends, local businesses, and community leaders who believe in keeping Altadena community-owned.
Partner with us — your support today will directly determine if we can save this space.

Together, we can rebuild stronger than ever — not just for Two Dragons, but for all of Altadena. 💪🏽❤️
