EVENT: Local Fundraising

October 29, 2014

 

This article space is designated to all your local charity fundraisers.  If your child's school is having a breakfast at Applebees, you're selling wrapping paper through an online school site, your girl scout troop is holding a bake sale, if you're running a local 5k race, collecting goods for a shelter, know Hannifords is collecting food for the Holidays, whatever the reason, we'll add it to the article.  There's a form HERE to complete which includes further details.  

October is National Breast Cancer Awareness month.

Starting October 6, 2014 and for the rest of this month all the staff & instructors at Fishkill Karate - Just For Kicks Martial Arts Center will be wearing neon pink belts to raise money to support this cause. At the end of the month the instructors will sign the belts and they will be auctioned off through a silent auction. The highest bid wins the autographed belt and a private lesson from the instructor.

In addition, we will be accepting donations, and doing a Kick-a-thon to raise funds and awareness that may eventually lead to a cure.
