How was Kicking for Causes founded?

Our first event in 2012 was for cancer research and we thought through a local studio that we might raise a few hundred dollars. We challenged karate students at one studio to get sponsorships to break boards and kick cancer’s butt. Well, a few hundred turned into several thousand and we quickly realized the potential of combining people’s talents and passions with giving back to the world. We made fundraising fun, not a chore. Families saw the impact and benefit of teaching children the importance of having a worldly view and the heart of a philanthropist. Our colors, grey and purple, reflect the first founding events purpose and the compassion we share for those in need.
