Thank you for a successful Karmaoke!
Karmaoke 2025 was a resounding success! Our second annual Karmaoke event took place on November 23rd, beginning with a Thanksgiving potluck and concluding with the dedication of $53,000 in pledged contributions to keeping the Dharma flowing at KCC for the benefit of all beings. Yes, that’s right, our generous sangha pledged $53,000 towards meeting KCC’s expenses in 2025, and we’ve already received $36,461 of the pledged amount!
Bows of gratitude to:
- Everyone who donated.
- The 18 brave singers who led us in 16 songs and chants of love and generosity and pop-lyric Dharma teachings.
- Those who made it all happen:
Sound Technician Eric T and his crew, Crawford.

Event volunteers Craig H, Cynthia, Elizabeth, Elliott, John J, Kate, Linda L, Luna, Makiko, Peter B, Phil, Sally and Tim. - And Sally for the fun photos below. You can see all the photos from Sally here.
