Pink Army 2026: Over $9,000 Raised for the Canadian Cancer Society

For the whole month of October, the belts on our dojo floors turned pink. White, orange, green, brown and black all made way for pink, and students and families at every Douvris dojo gave generously to make it count.

Over $9,000 raised

The 2026 Douvris Pink Army is a wrap, and the final total is in: over $9,000 raised. Every dollar is going to the Canadian Cancer Society.

Thank you

To every student who wore pink, every parent who donated and every instructor who tied a pink belt before class: thank you. A fundraiser like this only works when people show up, and you showed up all month.

Why it matters

Most of us don't have to look far to find someone touched by cancer. A parent, a grandparent, a friend, a fellow student. That is why the Pink Army comes back every October, and it is why a room full of pink belts means so much to us.

The Pink Army will be back next October. See you in pink. OSU!
