On Saturday, Sept. 27, thousands of Tae Kwon Do students across the United States will be breaking boards and putting on martial arts exhibitions to raise money for the Children's Miracle Network. The event is called Health Kicks.
The event is organized by American Tae Kwon Do United (ATU), a professional organization for tae kwon do schools throughout the country that is dedicated to having a positive impact on the lives of children in their communities.
Similar to a walkathon or a dance-athon, the Health Kick is a board-break-athon. Students of all ages and belt ranks, many of them children, are currently gathering sponsors and pledge. Then on Sept. 27, they will be breaking those boards with a variety of tae kwon do kicks, punches and strikes.
One hundred percent of the profits from each event will be donated to the Children's Miracle Network to distribute to children�s hospitals throughout the country.
The Children�s Miracle Network is a non-profit organization dedicated to saving and improving the lives of children by raising money for children�s hospitals across North America. All donations raised by each Health Kick go directly to the area's closest Children�s Miracle Network affiliated hospitals. Children's Miracle Network hospitals use the money to provide lifesaving pediatric care, education and research.
As martial artists we train to strengthen our mind, body and spirit. Health Kick is an excellent training tool for all three. It requires your physical participation and skill, challenge your mental focus and intensity, and will give you the confidence and happiness that comes with knowing you have helped others in need.
Any martial arts school can participate, regardless of size or location
