King Tiger Tae Kwon Do will present a check in the amount of $5,100.48
to the Levine Children's Hospital.
The 15 Black Belt students were all part of the Fall 2009 Black Belt
Candidate program at King Tiger Tae Kwon Do. In addition to daily
training in forms and sparring the candidates were also required to
complete many other challenges during the 10 week cycle including
running a total of 105 miles, completing 10,000 pushups, 10,000 sit
ups, 240 random acts of kindness, and one community service. In this
case the community service was to hold a "kick-a-thon" and raise money
to help the Levine Children's Hospital. The Kicks for Kids event was
held at King Tiger Tae Kwon Do on Saturday, November 7.
On December 5 a representative from the Levine Children's Hospital
will be present to receive the check. December 5 also marks the day
that the candidates will participate in a traditional Korean Tea
Ceremony and where they will be receiving their new belts denoting
their new rank.

3rd Dan; Joseph Hamel, 3rd Dan; Mark Kenna, 3rd Dan; Duchess Ave 1st
