Kickathon Planning Time

We are now looking for ideas for our annual Kickathon and 5km run. Every year Faolchú Karate fundraise for a charity that supports us in our local area.
In previous years we have raised money for
2010 MS Tuam
2011 Hand-In-Hand
2012 MS Tuam
2013 Galway Hospice.

All funds raised stay in our local area, directly benefiting those who need it on our own door step. All ideas will be considered, however when choosing who to support it important to us that the charity is transparent and all of the money that is handed over goes directly to those who need it (no unnecessary wages or expenses).

CHARITY RESULT!!!!!

I am very pleased to say that all money has been returned from the Charity Kickathon and Charity Climbing of "The Reek".
We have an amazing total of €1663.
Handinhand West where given €1331 of the money raised and we have now started our squad fund with €332 that will be used to help out with students who want to compete.

Kickathon

Tuam karate students where really up and kicking on Saturday morning with many of our students coming out at 09:30 to endure the 100's of kicks and punches for the sponsored kickathon in aid of Hand in Hand West, the children's' cancer charity.
There was a great buzz on the day and the spirit and determination of the Children was out standing.
All money has not yet been returned but there is currently €1600 been raised, 80% of which will go directly to the charity and the other 20% is the beginning of our squad fund. The squad fund will be used to fund the Faolchú students who would like to enter tournaments.
A huge thanks to all parents and children donations have been exceptionally generous.
