Life Membership Program is designed to recognize individuals and corporations that believe in the vision and mission of the USJF.
Our Vision is building strong wellness communities by empowering members to make known the Judo maxim, Jita-kyoei (spirit of mutual prosperity for self and others), through safe and positive experiences.
Our Mission to to promote and support Judo as a physical, mental and moral practice.
The President’s Club has been established to receive and manage charitable donations made to the USJF. All donations, which are tax deductible, are to be deposited into our Endowment Trust whose principal will be maintained, conserved, and invested so as to generate interest. Monies accumulated from the Endowment Trust will be used to support the development of Judo both local and nationally.
