Hamden:
Last month the Academy of Kempo Martial Arts
asked for your help, as they entered their second annual push in their
fundraiser for the Tommy Fund for Childhood Cancer and the response has been
a good one. On October 10, 2010, the Ciarleglio family dropped off over 950
craft kits, books and art supplies that were donated to the Academy of
Kempo’s “Help a Child Initiative”. The major contributors to this drop off
were the Academy of Kempo Martial Arts students and their families, and S&S
Worldwide in Colchester CT.
This fundraiser has been an ongoing project for the Academy, “We have been
very fortunate to have the support of our students, family members and
friends at the Academy with this ongoing project and now we are gaining the
support of many others throughout the state” said Frank Ciarleglio.
The “Help a Child Initiative” is a program started in October of 2009 by Ciarleglio, the Instructor at the Academy of Kempo Martial Arts in Hamden, to help children with life threatening diseases.
“The Academy
is continuing to collect arts and crafts material
for children as young as infant to 21 years of age. These items include but are
not be limited to, Tempera Paints, sand art kits, bead kits, window painting
kits, wood projects and jewelry kits. We are also collecting items that can be
decorated, such as white tee shirts, white pillowcases, I-pod cases and cloth
bags and
general items needed to assist The Tommy Fund for
Childhood Cancer and the Child Life Specialist-Pediatric Specialty Clinic at the
Yale-New Haven Children’s Hospital,” said Ciarleglio.
Now there
are another two Donations Centers. The Lanphier Day Spa located at 8 Devine
Street in North Haven has joined in to collect arts and crafts materials, and
they are hosting an “Evening At The Spa”
which will benefit the Tommy Fund for Childhood Cancer through the Academy of
Kempo’s “Help a Child Initiative”.
The “Evening At The Spa”
is on Wednesday, October 27, 2010 from 5:00pm to 9:00pm.
