SUMMARY:The HWAITING (화이팅) Open Stage Fundraiser * September 20\, 2026
DESCRIPTION:The HWAITING (화이팅) Open Stage is a vibrant open mic event held at Linneman’s Riverwest Inn in Milwaukee\, Wisconsin. It was launched by City Youth Martial Arts (CYMA) as a fundraiser and community engagement project\, with the first event taking place in September 2024. The event is hosted by Marika Holbusz\, a singer-songwriter and martial artist\, as part of her community service project for her second-degree black belt. \nHWAITING Open Stage serves multiple purposes: it provides a platform for poets\, musicians\, dancers\, comedians\, mimes\, magicians\, and other performers to showcase their talents\, while also raising funds and awareness for CYMA. The nonprofit offers pay-what-you-can Taekwondo classes to Milwaukee youth\, promoting leadership\, confidence\, discipline\, and physical fitness. The event also emphasizes community support\, often including food drives and other charitable activities. \nEvent Format \nDoors open: Typically in the evening\, with sign-up lists for performers available upon arrival. \nPerformances: Open mic slots allow local artists to perform\, with featured performers highlighted during the event. \nAudience: Open to anyone interested in enjoying live performances or supporting local youth programs. \nCultural Significance \nThe name HWAITING (화이팅) is a Korean term used to offer encouragement and luck\, reflecting the martial arts roots of the organizing nonprofit. The event has become a much-anticipated fixture in Milwaukee’s arts scene\, celebrating creativity while fostering community engagement and youth empowerment. \nParticipation \nAnyone can participate\, whether performing or attending. Donations at the door support CYMA’s programs\, ensuring that martial arts education remains accessible to all city youth. The event is recurring\, often celebrated with special anniversaries and themed performances. \nHWAITING Open Stage is therefore not just an open mic—it is a community-driven celebration of the arts and youth development\, blending performance\, culture\, and social impact in Milwaukee.
