Some area martial arts students are turning their workout into a fundraiser to help families with critically ill children, and anyone can join in the action.
Students from the Innovative Martial Arts Academy in Wake Forest will conduct their Kick-A-Thon for Jesica's Hope Chest on from 11 a.m. to 1 p.m. Nov. 8.
The event, which is part of the academy's own Community Service Month, takes place at 1241 S. Main St., Suite 15. You can help by participating or by sponsoring a student. Contact school owner Charles Falk at 919-562-4663, e-mail charles@martialartsforlife.ne or visit www.martialartsforlife.net.
Jesica’s Hope Chest is an organization that assists families with critical ill children by providing financial aid to bridge the gap of income lost when a child is diagnosed with a life-threatening condition.
“We are proud to help out an organization that touches the lives of so many,” Falk said in a news release. “It is a great time of year to give to such a worthy cause. Please join us!”
