United Taekwondo Centers are hosting a Kick-A-Thon event at the Helena Sports Complex on Saturday, April 14 from 2-4 p.m.
The event will benefit St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital.
Sean Gilliam of Impact Martial Arts in Pelham says the event will offer free Self-Defense Workshops from 2:30-3:30 p.m. The Kid Safe Workshop topics for youth are Bully Proof and Stranger Danger. Adult Street Smart Self-Defense will demonstrate basic awareness and safety and basic self-defense techniques.
All proceeds from donations and Kick-A-Thon T-shirts will go to St. Jude.
“Several schools will be participating in the Kick-A-Thon. This is a great opportunity for kids who are passionate about Martial Arts to help save lives of children battling cancer or other illnesses.”
"Free Community Concert @ Helena Amphitheater April 14th. Gate open at 4:30 with music by Helena artists Corey Nolen & The Forgetaways beginning at 5:30. Bring the family, friends, a picnic dinner, and some blankets or chairs. Several gas grills will be provided for anyone wanting to cook out."
Kids First Awareness
Hi Hewy!
Jennifer Moore sent this in about an organization to raise clothes:
"I am a long-time resident of Helena, and I volunteer at an organization called Kids First Awareness in Alabaster. We serve at-risk children by focusing on education and helping them remain drug free. On April 14, I am hosting a clothing "shop" for these children, and I would like to ask for your help publicizing it. As a reader of your blog for many years, I know that so many people see it, and I need to get the word out!
I am taking donations of new or gently used clothing, shoes, and accessories to fit children in grades K-12. We will set these items up in a "store" that these children will be able to "shop" in, but it will not require real money. They are earning their credits by coming to the center, doing homework, and helping keep it clean. In addition, we will be picking up homeless children from downtown Birmingham to come and shop.
We are a non-profit organization, and tax receipts will be provided for anyone who donates. Of course, corporate monetary donations are welcome, and all monies will be used to stock the store.
Anyone interested may contact me by email or phone, and you may publish both. I am more than happy to pick up any donations".
