Help USAMA raise money for Muscular Dystrophy - Ends June 27th


06/14/07

Students and families, we are participating in a charity fund raiser on behalf of the Muscular Dystrophy Association.  For us, the United States Academy of Martial Arts is more than a martial arts program, but a vehicle for us to positivley impact the lives of those in our circle of influence.  People suffering from Muscular Dystrophy in our community need some assistance and we are glad to participate in their effort to raise money.  I am participating in their "Lock Up" campain where they take me away to a "Jail" (actually a restuaunt) where they feed us bread and water for a portion of the day.  To get out of "Jail" they are asking me to raise my bail : ) 

If you are interested in helping us raise funds for M.D. please click here where you can easily make a donation through their website...and please don't delay as this fund raiser ends June 27th!
