AmeriKick Karate to Hold Kick-a-Thon to Benefit Save the Children

Online, April 5, 2011 (Newswire.com) - Students at AmeriKick Karate will be participating in a kick-a-thon on Saturday, April 16, to raise money for Save the Children. They aim to raise $3,000 for the charity by collecting pledges and performing 1,000 kicks at the direction of their instructor, Sensei Doug Shaffer. According to Doug, "It is important to teach our children to help others who are less fortunate than ourselves. This is our way to make a positive impact for children around the world."

The kick-a-thon is only a part of the AmeriKick Day festival that will be running from 8:00 a.m. to 3:00 p.m. In addition to this fundraising event, AmeriKick's Lansdale location will hold free classes, a complimentary self-defense seminar, giveaways, and a prize drawing.

AmeriKick Karate is located at 1551 S. Valley Forge Road, in the North Penn Market Place shopping center. More details about the AmeriKick Day festival and how to donate to Save the Children on behalf of the AmeriKick Day fundraiser are available at www.amerikicklansdale.com/news/amerikick-day.
