Back in the day, I used to post here and share to Facebook. Times change. I posted this to Facebook a few days back and thought I should put it up here, just in case anyone wanders by who doesn't keep up on FB:
Hi Everybody!
It's that time of year--Sun Dragon's annual fundraiser to support our scholarship and self defense education programs (described below). Every dollar that you donate will go to keeping our doors open to anyone who's interested in studying karate and anyone who would like to take one of our comprehensive self defense training courses. We believe that everyone should have these opportunities and with the help of donors like you over the years we've been able to welcome all comers, whether they can pay for classes or not. Your support will help us continue to do this for another year. If you've helped before and don't want to read any further, you can just click on the following link to become one of my sponsors with your tax deductible donation to Sun Dragon:

What's a Kickathon? It's like a Walkathon, only with kicks! Sun Dragon students will be meeting at Zilker Park in Austin on November 6th to raise money but also to endure the physical challenge of throwing around 1500 kicks and punches (the youngest kids will be kicking and punching 200 times, older kids 500 times, adults 1000 times and those of us who are helping the kids will try to hit the 1500 mark). As if that's not enough, we'll also have the chance to join in a fun run before the event or do kata for half an hour. If you sign up as one of my sponsors then I'll be kicking and punching and kata-ing for you as well as for the dojo (I won't be running--there are limits to what I'll do for the school).
