  • MDA Spar-A-Thon - We are excited to be partnering with the Muscular Dystrophy Association at our 2010 Charles Minter Tae Kwon Do Karate Spar-A-Thon February 20, 2010. The Spar-A-Thon will be held from 2 pm to 6 pm and we are expecting staff members from the Local Muscular Dystrophy Association to be in attendance. Participants in the Spar-A-Thon will have the opportunity to spar as much as they would like. This will be great training for our upcoming tournaments. Participants should ask their relatives, friends, and neighbors for donations made out to "MDA". Participants who collect more than $25 in donations will receive a special Charles Minter TKD tee shirt that proudly declares "I was a Winner at the 2010 MDA Spar-A-Thon". If we are able to make a donation of $3,500 or more to MDA, we will be invited to make a check presentation at the MDA Telethon in September. Print out a copy of this form to use for collecting donations. Printable event poster can be downloaded here.
