It's Testing Time In Tennessee

Update

We wanted to take a moment and thank everyone who came out for yesterday’s Kicking Cancer For Lucas Fundraiser. It was an extreme success, and although we don’t have a total yet for the amount raised, we are very proud of everyone. Thank you to our sponsors who donated their time, business, and money as well as our volunteers who spent their entire day with us, helping us set up, making the event great, and cleaning up after. A special shout out to Instructor Team member and black belt Calvin Hamilton for showing us exactly what black belt determination and courage looks like for continuing to kick after everyone else left. Not only did he continue to kick, surpassing his goal, but he refused to stop until he ran out of time, reaching 10,000 kicks for his cause. Congrats Mr. Hamilton! We are so very proud of you!

Don’t forget to bring in your donations and donation sheets if you haven’t already done so. All money raised is due by September 30th so we can present the funds to Lucas’s family.

A few t-shirts from the event are still available—although sizes are limited. These shirts have been discounted to $3.00 for quick sale.

Don’t forget to get signed up for the Halloween Party food inventory. We’re trying to make sure that we have adequate space for everything as we begin planning the best Halloween party ever! You don’t have to know (or tell us) exactly what you’re bringing—just if you’re bringing something. Remember, there’s a prize for the best dish—most creative and best tasting!

KICKING CANCER FOR LUCAS

Please visit the OFFICIAL KICKING CANCER FOR LUCAS WITH TIGER-ROCK MARTIAL ARTS WEBSITE for more information!

Kicking Cancer for Lucas

On March 30th, 2016, 8 year old Lucas Jones was diagnosed with cancer—Rhabdomyosarcoma. On August 28th, CJ Hardy, a student at Tiger-Rock Martial Arts decided to shave his head in solidarity with his friend Lucas. This motion moved everyone around CJ, but that wasn’t enough. CJ wanted to more, and he knew exactly how.

After approaching his instructors at Tiger-Rock Martial Arts, it was decided that an event would be held for Lucas—a fund-raiser for his family and a spirit-raiser for him. That’s where you come into the picture.

Join us on Sunday September 25th from 2pm-4pm for the KICKING CANCER FOR LUCAS KICK-A-THON! There will be food, a bounce house, board breaking, cake walks, face painting, a silent auction, and lots more! All proceeds will go directly to the family of Lucas Jones to help support his cancer treatments and help find a cure for childhood cancer.

The Kick-A-Thon pledge sheets are available at Tiger-Rock Martial Arts (9111B Executive Park Drive, Knoxville, TN, 37923) or can be requested by sending an email to WestKnoxTigerRock@gmail.com. Kickers are asked to collect pledges for the number of kicks that they complete during the time period and turn them into Tiger-Rock Martial Arts of West Knoxville by September 30th. The Kick-A-Thon is open to the public—meaning anyone can help raise funds for Lucas.

With your help, we can help make this boy’s journey and battle a little easier and help put an end to childhood cancer.

For more information or register for the Kick-A-Thon, please call Tiger-Rock Martial Arts at 865-247-4437 or send us an email at WestKnoxTigerRock@gmail.com.
