Lisa Linton visited Min's Karate Academy in Camp Hill, Pennsylvania to interview 2nd degree black belt Krystina I. Shultz, organizer of Min's Karate Annual Holiday Charity Break-A-Thon.
This year, the Break-A-Thon will be held JANUARY 16, 2010 at 9:30 a.m. (Breakers, please arrive at 9:00.)
Welcome from Krystina Shultz
In 2006 I was a sophomore at East Pennsboro High School in Enola, PA. I wanted to help make that holiday season a more enjoyable event for a child by answering a wish request or some similar gesture. My desire grew into an event that helped far more than one child.
This event, *Min's Karate Holiday Charity Break-A-Thon* fundraiser allows me, and other people, to distribute holiday cheer to those who need it. The students of Min's Karate Academy in Camp Hill, PA gathered per-board pledges and flat donations and had a blast while raising money for the three charities featured on this page.
I have held the event
each year since, raising a cumulative total of $4,680, which was evenly distributed among these charities. Now, as a college freshman, I am proud to
be holding the Fourth Annual *Min's Karate Holiday Charity Break-A-Thon*
fundraiser on JANUARY 16, 2010. I would like to thank everyone who helped make
the first three events a success and I trust that this year's Break-A-Thon
will
be the best yet.
Krystina Shultz
This Season, the 4th Annual Holiday Charity Break-A-Thon will be held JANUARY 16, 2010 at 9:30 a.m. Last year, the event raised $1,380, bringing the total amount
raised for all three to $4,680. Thank you to all of the
breakers and to everyone who helped make this a successful annual event.
