The Black Dragon Kung Fu school held it's annual Kick-a-Thon fund raiser event, to raise money and awareness for Camp Hope, a non-profit organization whose goal is to construct a completely handicapped accessible lodge where combat wounded veterans may participate in hunting, fishing, canoeing, skeet shooting, hiking and relaxing in a peaceful setting.
We had the day declared National Martial Arts Day in Missouri, by Missouri State Governor Jay Nixon, as a way of saying Thank You to Prof. Ike Bear, for all of the hard work and effort he has put into the local martial arts community over the years.
In addition to the Kick-a-thon itself, we held a silent auction with donations from some great people and companies.
Black Dragon Kung Fu school was also proud to have as our special guests, Superman impersonator Charlee Chartrand, K9 Pack Leader Canine Rehabilitation and Training, Trovare di Spada, Classical Italian Fencing Tai Chi instructor Jeff Felty of the Green Dragon Society, Eileen Concannon, and 105.7 The Point.
