We believe that it is important for us to be involved in our community and to teach our students the importance of helping others. The Ten Oaks Project resonates with us because it is for youth, and a large majority of our members are children and youth. We fundraise for other causes that are special to us, such as Breast Cancer Awareness and Kids Kicking Cancer Canada. This charity also resonates with us because it promotes diversity and inclusivity which are important virtues we wish to remind and instill in our students.

Douvris has partnered with Ten Oaks Project to help raise funds and awareness for this great organization. The Ten Oaks Project is a volunteer-driven organization that engages and connects children and youth from 2SLGBTQ+ (two-spirit, lesbian, gay, bisexual, trans, queer) identities, families, and communities.

During the month of June, we are selling Pride Patches which can be sewn onto a Gi or a Pride t-shirt which can be worn to class throughout the month of June. The patches are $10 and the t-shirts are $20 and all money raised goes to Ten Oaks so they can send kids to camp this summer.

You can pre-order your badge or t-shirt by emailing us at info@douvris.com.
