St. Jude Children's Research Hospital

This Saturday, Space Coast Martial Arts is holding a fundraiser for the St. Jude Children's Research Hospital. St. Jude is internationally recognized for its pioneering work in finding cures and saving children with cancer and other catastrophic diseases. St. Jude is the first and only pediatric cancer center to be designated as a Comprehensive Cancer Center by the National Cancer Institute. Founded by late entertainer Danny Thomas and based in Memphis, Tenn., St. Jude freely shares its discoveries with scientific and medical communities around the world. St. Jude is the only pediatric cancer research center where families never pay for treatment not covered by insurance. No child is ever denied treatment because of the family's inability to pay.

To help children receive this life-saving treatment, there will be two seminars at the Merritt Island school only. The first is an Introduction to Martial Arts, which will be held from 10-11 a.m. The second is a Kids Self Defense Seminar held from 12-1:00 p.m. We ask that you bring a friend and a $15 donation to the seminar.
