We had a basket last year that was VERY popular, and we will probably be doing it again. It was a basket FULL of gift cards and gift certificates to various local businesses. It was called the “PAY IT FORWARD” basket and if you won, you had to share a few of the gift cards with someone else of your choice! You win, and others win too!

Around 1:30, all participants will start lining up to perform the 500 kicks they promised.

Find out more about what we do to help Manna, and what Manna does for our community from a Manna rep!

When the kicking is completed, the crowd will be entertained with Martial Arts demonstrations by our schools Demo Teams.

After all funds are collected and calculated, we do the BIG CHECK PRESENTATION to a representative from Manna on Main St.

We finish the event with a flourish as our instructors attempt to break a total of 50 concrete blocks with hands, elbows and feet. Master Pfister holds a world record of 50 bricks broken in less than 22 seconds done at the first Kickathon in 2008! The video was even shown on ESPN and SPIKE TV! A tradition has developed since 2008 where those in attendance grab a part of a broken brick and have those who broke them sign it as a souvenir! (There will be PLENTY of broken bricks for all!)
