Olympic Taekwondo Academy has been running the "Kicking for Miracles" fundraising campaign since August. The students have collected pledges based on number of kicks in a minute or a simple flat donation. Saturday's event included demonstrations by students and Masters, board breaking, food, games and music. All of the supplies for this fundraising campaign were donated so that every penny raised could go to Abilities without Boundaries. Over $1000 has been raised so far.
Olympic Taekwondo Academy is owned and operated by Cheshire residents Master Jonguk Jang and his wife, Hyun Jung An. The school opened in June 2012 in the Watch Factory Shoppes in Cheshire. For more information, they are listed on the Cheshire Patch under Martial Arts Studios, on the Web at www.otacheshire.com, and on Facebook at www.facebook.com/otacheshire.
