Thanks to You, We're Still Teaching Character Through Karate

Thanks to you, thousands of students still have the supportive community of Kickstart Kids to turn to during these challenging times.

Although we were disappointed to postpone the Chuck Norris 80th Birthday Celebration, and not be able to commemorate the special occasion with all of you, we still raised more than $650,000 to teach character through karate.  The unwavering commitment of our supporters has elevated our ability to not only connect with our 10,000 students now when they need us most, but ensures that we can remain committed to maintaining stability and consistency, encouraging positive social-emotional well-being, fostering strong relationships based on trust and responsibility, and being the difference in our students’ lives long after this is over.


On behalf of all of us at Kickstart Kids, THANK YOU to our generous supporters for making all of it possible.
