29th Annual Thanksgiving Basket Brigade
Thanksgiving Basket Brigade is a program at Azad's Martial Arts Center created by Grandmaster Azad over two decades ago to help deserving local families with kids. Each year Grandmaster Azad and his students help over 200 families in Butte County with a gift basket of Thanksgiving Meal. Each gift basket provides dinner for up to 15 people. A basket carries a complete Thanksgiving meal with items such as Turkey, Mashed Potatoes, Pie, Stuffing, etc.
