Academy of Soo Do Thai needs you Support!!
We have been in the community for over 10 years serving the Hazel Park/Detroit area. Unfortunately in this difficult and challenging economy, many households simply do not have the additional revenue to put their children in something like martial arts. Despite the fact that we run many specials in an attempt to make our program as affordable as possible to the community, many students and parents simply cannot afford it.
The martial arts has MANY benefits, such as teaching students confidence, teamwork, discipline, and self-defense. In a society where many children are plagued by bullying, so much so that children are now taking their own lives, we need to combat this awful situation by providing children with self-esteem building characteristics and traits to build awareness and confidence. The martial arts helps with that.
Additionally, too many of our children are being victimized from day to day. The news is filled with violence and lost and missing children. Our goal is to keep our youth off of the streets by giving them a positive activity like the martial arts to participate in. We have a competition team where we have taken students all over the world to showcase their talents. We do not know how much longer we will be able to stay in the community without the support and help from everyone, as the costs associated with running our facility are simply overwhelming, especially considering the fact that over 70% of our students simply cannot afford to pay.
Please donate to our cause, so that we can provide scholarships to those in need and help to keep them safe and off the streets!
Thank you for your time and consideration!
