15th Annual Break-A-Thon
When: Saturday, March 5th, 2022
Where: Soccer Haus
Since 2006, U.S. Taekwondo Center students have used their Taekwondo skills to give back to the community by raising funds for local nonprofits! For 2022, our goal is to raise $25,000 through board breaking, corporate sponsorships, a mystery wine pull, and silent auction! All proceeds from Break-A-Thon will benefit Angels of America’s Fallen.
At the 15th Annual Break-A-Thon, our goal is to raise $25,000! In order for our students to raise the most amount of money they can for Angels, we set up a website at www.ustcbreakathon.com, where you can help raise funds. You can create your own donation page and ask family, friends, schools or local businesses to donate directly to your page so the donation will be made under your name!
