Welcome

Welcome to the Okinawan Friendship Society – a non-profit organization registered in the state of New York.

Mission Statement: 

Formed for the charitable purpose to provide financial support to the students, families, affiliates, and communities of Central New York Karate,  located in the Central New York Area.

Where kids, culture, and education meet!

About Us:

The Okinawan Friendship Society was formed from a need to support The Northside Karate program. This program is offered at no cost to the children living on the North Side of Syracuse. An area filled with poverty, violence, and hunger. The self-esteem, confidence, and leadership skills are essential to helping these children be successful!
