TEAM BUILDING TAIKO WORKSHOP:
BUSINESS DONOR PERK!​​

These workshops are fun and energizing taiko sessions aimed at fostering a deeper sense of community, connection, and cooperation amongst participants. We are running a special offer this summer to grow our pool of donors:
Any registered Canadian For-Profit Business that pledges a minimum $500 donation to RAW by July 1st will receive a private Team Building Taiko Workshop (originally valued at $1000 and up) for them and their team! Contributions above $500 will be eligible for additional perks that express our deep gratitude for your support.

DONOR PROGRAMS & SPONSORSHIP
​RAW Taiko was founded in 1998, and in 2023, we reached our 25th anniversary!
We have made it this far on the grit, commitment, care and contributions of drummers and community members who recognize the distinct and important ways RAW Taiko creates experiences for collective expression, empowerment and education. We wouldn’t be here without you, and today we are inviting you to join one of our new donor programs, rooted in mutual respect, gratitude and growth as we work to sustain the next twenty-five years together.
