Kicking for a Cause awarded $3000 in scholarships for higher education to three high achieving students who exemplify the tenets in and out of the dojang, and show promise to create positive change in their communities.

Kicking for a Cause also provided free Taekwondo scholarships for foster children and self-defense instruction for women.

Through KCTKD Black Belt Community Service Projects, our black belts donated thousands of items of food, clothing, toys, etc and donated hundreds of hours of time helping various populations in need throughout the Colorado community!

KCTKD hosted our first Kick-a-Thon raising $7000 (and donating $3000 ourselves) as students completed 22,066 kicks in 10-minute increments... all for Make-A-Wish and Kicking for a Cause.

100+ students earned medals at the KC Championship tournaments, demonstrating great skill and perseverance. Kenzie, Sahaana, and Xander won Grand Champion titles!
