Olympic Taekwondo Academy Kicking for Miracles Raises Money for Abilities without Boundaries

The Watch Factory Shoppes in Cheshire was the site of the 2nd Annual Olympic Taekwondo Academy "Kicking for Miracles" fundraising event on September 14, 2013. This was the part of an overall fundraising campaign for Cheshire-based Abilities without Boundaries sponsored by Olympic Taekwondo Academy of Cheshire.  The 2013 campaign raised $3043.90.

“Abilities Without Boundaries is a strong advocate for the rights of people with developmental disabilities. For more than 30 years, we have been helping to make a difference. You too can become an advocate by spreading the word and supporting Abilities Without Boundaries.

The students of Olympic Taekwondo Academy collected pledges based on number of kicks in a minute or a simple flat donation.  The 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 went directly to Abilities without Boundaries.

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.
