Photos from Tai Chi with Mrs. Ma
Tai chi with Mrs. Ma was a smash success with 50 people in attendance! It was also Mrs. Ma’s birthday so we were able to celebrate her with a surprise birthday cake and longevity buns. CTV also did a segment on the event!
Missed the event, but still want to learn tai chi with Mrs. Ma? You’re in luck! Join Tai Chi with Yarrow fundraiser this upcoming Sat, Mar 23 from 2-3pm.
Help us continue these events until the end of the year!
We run out of funding at the end of June with no secured sources of funding on the horizon, so we really need your help. We’ll need to raise at least $25k to be able to keep running twice monthly events until the end of the year. If you love the free and inclusive public cultural events that we host in Chinatown to push back against gentrification, please consider donating.
