TUFF Martial Arts Hosting Annual Kick-A-Thon Fundraiser

TUFF's an

TUFF's annual KICK-A-THON is coming back to Homestead, FL! Hello parents and students, we are working hard preparing for our annual Kick-A-Thon fundraising tournament. Last year’s tournament was so much fun and exciting for all of our students!! We hope to be able to be just as successful as we were last year. Last year, we raised enough money to purchase both a new obstacle course and training gear, which we use regularly in our classes. This year, we are creating more age divisions with winners for 1st, 2nd and 3rd place in each division.  The winners will get trophies for the top three spots in each age division. That’s where we need your help. We are looking for business sponsorship to help offset the cost of the trophies!! Businesses will receive tax receipts for their end of the year filings as well as promoting of their business within our parent base.  Different tiers of sponsorship are available and start with as little as $50. We will be raising money this year to purchase brand new electronic sparring training equipment for our competition team and beginner sparring students. Please consider supporting our team! The most exciting fund-raiser.Your child is going to have fun participating and competing against other children to become the “TUFF’s kicking champion”.  Testing his capabilities against other will boots his desire to come out on top of the competition. We are COVID 19 compliant!We have taken every precaution to keep our students safe. Constantly sanitizing for a safer environment.
