The Popkin-Brogna Jujitsu Center Kick-a-Thon was an unforgettable experience, and we are bursting with pride for everyone who participated, supported, and made this year’s event such a huge success. Together, we didn’t just showcase our martial arts skills—we made a real difference for our community.
Celebrating Our Achievements
This year’s Kick-a-Thon wasn’t just about how many kicks we could perform, though let’s admit it, the numbers were impressive! It was about coming together as a team to support Long Island Cares, an amazing organization that works tirelessly to fight hunger and food insecurity across Long Island.
Thanks to your hard work, enthusiasm, and generosity, we raised $5,000 dollars !! These funds will directly support families, children, seniors, and veterans in need, helping to provide food, education, and relief to those who need it most.
Our Students, Our Heroes
To our students: You blew us away with your energy, determination, and incredible effort. Every kick you threw wasn’t just a move on the mat—it was a move toward creating a better world. You’ve truly embodied the spirit of jujitsu, showing discipline, compassion, and strength in every round.
A Big Thank You to Our Supporters
To our parents, families, and sponsors: None of this would have been possible without your encouragement and generosity. Your belief in our mission to teach both martial arts and life skills has been the foundation of our success. We are so grateful for your support and partnership in this journey.
Looking Ahead
As we celebrate this amazing achievement, we are reminded of the power of unity. The Kick-a-Thon was a testament to what can happen when we work together, and we couldn’t be more proud of this dojo family.
Let’s carry this spirit forward into everything we do. Whether it’s in training, at school, or in our everyday lives, let’s continue to be leaders in kindness and champions for our community.
Congratulations to everyone who made the Kick-a-Thon a resounding success! Together, we’ve proven that we can kick hunger to the curb—one kick at a time.
Thank you for being a part of something so meaningful. Here’s to many more opportunities to grow, give back, and make a difference!
Stay strong, stay kind, and keep kicking!
