Brooklyn, New York’s Capoeira Guanabara recently hosted its annual “rodathon” fundraiser for its batizado, apparently to great success, as shown in a “thank you” video posted to YouTube by user turgger316. The event took place at Prospect Park’s Grand Army Plaza on May 15, 2016 and according to the video, helped raise over $1800. The group’s capoeiristas were individually sponsored with donations made in cash or via PayPal.
Capoeira Guanabara was founded by Mestre Di Mola in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, and the Brooklyn location includes instructors Monitor Anun and Monitora Mundança. The group’s batizado will be taking place from September 28 to October 2, 2016 in Brooklyn, New York, where they will also be celebrating Mestre Di Mola’s 50th birthday.
