Project Action Kick-a-thon Results

(See the News Release for this event.)

A drop hollows the stone not by its force but by its frequency. One kick at a time, a penny a kick, GMA students made a pretty good size dent in the rock of juvenile delinquency. Collectively, we did 24,000 kicks to raise over $1,600 in scholarship money. Special recognition should go to our top money raisers-John Michael Murphy and Jessica Brandt who raised nearly 600 between them!

Thanks to everyone who worked hard to help share the martial arts with those who otherwise might not be able to enjoy them. Special thanks to the kick counters, to Jeez-O-Pete's Pub on the North Side for providing the refreshments for afterwards, and IU Hapkido Club for helping out.

One of the things we hoped our students would learn is that we can usually do more than what we think can. It quickly became apparent on Sat that many people would far surpass their kicking goal. An elite but large group soon emerged…which in hindsight we will call the thousand-kick club, and they too deserve special recognition for displaying martial spirit-indomitable spirit.
