Many years ago the Vero Beach Karate Association decided to take on an Association charity. The Muscular Dystrophy Association seemed like a good way to show students how blessed they are to be able to participate in a vigorous physical activity like the martial arts, while other children and adults must struggle with immense physical limitations. Consequently, the VBKA leadership undertook an ongoing effort to raise money to help them cover their monumental medical and living expenses, as well as to contribute to medical research for effective treatment and cures.

The Vero Beach Karate Association holds an annual Kick-a-Thon to raise money for MDA. To date VBKA members have raised over $200,000.00 in donations.

MDA Day includes a "carnival" in which children participate in games and challenges. Demonstrations, presentation of Black Belt Scholarships, naming the latest recipients of the Student Excellence Award, and a pizza lunch are all part of this day's activities. The event is open to the public. There will be tickets sold for carnival games and food. We will also have raffles being awarded to raise money for the MDA. Call 772-567-9899 for more information!
