The Helen Gee Chin Scholarship Foundation was formed in 2011, in memory of Sifu Calvin Chin’s beloved wife and administrator of the Academy for 15 years, who passed away after a brief battle with cancer. The Foundation grants scholarships to college-bound students of Chinese martial arts. It was an opportunity to take a terrible loss and turn it into something positive.

Scholarship recipients come from all over the United States, and our cumulative award total is now $183,000 to date, thanks to the generosity of our donors and fundraising efforts of our volunteers!
