St Pete Community Connector

Join us for an Hibachi experience fundraiser supporting St. Pete Fight Team —a place where youth, young adults, adults, and families can come together, connect, and grow in community!
There will be:
Live karate demos featuring familiar faces from the St. Pete Fight Team dojo, community awards, hibachi dinner, raffles, and an inspiring program—all while supporting the future of St. Pete Fight Team.
Come in your finest casual wear (floral dresses, aloha shirts, linen, and other tropical-inspired attire encouraged).
Yes, we teach karate, but we’re building something deeper: connection, belonging, and opportunity.
At St. Pete Fight Team, we fight for what matters:
We fight for family.
We are creating a space where everyone feels supported, seen, and connected. Family is at the heart of everything we do.
We fight for anti-racism.
We are committed to diversity, equity, and inclusion—breaking down barriers and building a culture of understanding and unity.
We fight for respect.
We believe respect for ourselves and others is the foundation for confidence, discipline, and meaningful life outcomes. We teach it. We model it.
Your presence helps make this possible. Come enjoy a night of food, community, and impact.
