Show your support to the MWKF Team by ordering a t-shirt!

Team MWKF is actively training in preparation for this tournament, which is held only once every 3 years.  Preparing for such an event is a big financial burden on each of the individuals who have been selected for the team.  As such, we are doing our utmost to support our athletes through fundraising activities.  These Team MWKF T-Shirts will help fund our journey to the AUSKF Nationals.

To save on shipping costs, please consider a pre-order of T-shirts by January 31 in order for us to deliver the T-shirts to you at the Detroit Taikai on February 15.

T-shirts are $30 each for single orders, and $25 each if you order 2 or more.  Feel free to reach out to us at team@mwkf.org for any questions.

Thank you so much for your contributions to Team MWKF!
