At the Korean Martial Arts Academy, we do our best to support our local community by donating to charities, raising awareness of important issues, and providing services to disadvantaged groups.
PINK MONTH
Every year in October, KMAA turns PINK to raise money for breast cancer research.
Our team make and sell pink belts for our students to wear throughout the month.
The last week in October is Dress Up Week. Students can come dressed up as their favourite superhero, princess, character or completely in pink.
All money donated is sent to the Cancer Council ACT to assist them in their research. In our annual fundraising from October 2013 to November 2024, KMAA has raised $16,074.30 in total SO FAR!

RELAY FOR LIFE
|
In 2022, Team KMAA participated in Relay for Life to raise money for the Cancer Council. Our fundraising goal was $1500, and in the end we raised an incredible $2141 thanks to the generous support of the KMAA Community. On the day, we not only walked the track, but also did a Martial Arts demonstration with students of all ages and belt levels. We are looking forward to attending Relay for Life again next year where we will try to beat our new fundraising record! |
