Who are we fundraising for?

My name is Meinte, I’m 16 and I train and help with the younger students as a junior instructor in training at Elite Freestyle Karate in Lexington. I’m currently working toward my first‑degree black belt, and karate has taught me what community really means. Helping younger students, supporting each other, and growing together, that’s what inspired me to start my nonprofit “Martial Arts For All Foundation”. I want underserved youth in Massachusetts to have the same chance to train, learn, and belong. By sponsoring the non-profit, you are sponsoring a child, you help them step onto the mat and become part of our community.

How are we fundraising?

This year we are hosting an EFK Kickathon to raise money for charity. Our Kickathon will be held on October 17th at the Memorial Elementary School in Burlington. This year's event will be a relay style event, in which students will team up in groups of 4-6 to be represented at the event. Each team will be required to have at least one student throwing kicks at any time for the full hour the event is going on. Students will collect donations for their team to participate in the event. All proceeds will be donated to charity.
