Follow on Google News | Menlo Park Martial Arts Academy Hosts 7th Annual Kick-a-Thon to Help New Non-ProfitThe Kick-A-Thon raises money for the Martial Arts Character Development Association (MACDA), a non-profit designed to help youth with diversified backgrounds to come together through the teaching of martial arts with the goal of supporting and improving the lives of Menlo Park and the surrounding area’s children. “Since we started having the Kick-A-Thon in 2009, hundreds of Menlo Park kids have gained access to award-winning character development and anti-bully programs and martial arts classes,” said Rich Quintana, co-owner of Kuk Sool Won™ of Menlo Park. “The focus of the programs is on academic excellence, strong social and interpersonal skills, health and fitness and a positive peer culture.” The Kick-A-Thon goal this year was to raise $20,000. They came close at almost $15,000, which will help to: • Continue MACDA’s scholarships for youth to attend martial arts programs promoting health, wellness, and effective life skills. • Increase scholarship capacity and open new learning opportunities to Menlo Park kids during the after-school hours when children and teens are more likely to engage in risky behaviors. • Increase community service initiatives including anti-bullying, stranger safety, and character in the classroom workshops and assemblies.
