More Info
All ages and abilities are welcome – Tee shirts are guaranteed to all pre-registrants and available to others until we run out. And we have prizes for kids! A $15 minimum registration donation is suggested for each Kick-A-Thon participant. Also, we hope that you will share your kicking gifts by finding sponsors who will support you on this special day.
Our goal is to raise $100,000 for Limbs for Life for the purchase of prosthetics for underprivileged children.
The kicking events are for anyone and everyone. In the timeframe allotted, there will be martial arts kicking, soccer, dance, hackeysack and kickball. The goal is to KICK as many times as possible for the entire time. Most importantly, the funds raised during these events helps a child who needs an arm or a leg to stay active and free!
