On Wednesday, October 27, 2010, Middletown Nissan located at 1153 Newfield Street (Route 3), in Middletown Connecticut completed their ‘Fill a Truck Event’ to benefit the Tommy Fund for Childhood Cancer through the Academy of Kempo’s “Help a Child Initiative”.

The Middletown Nissans’ staff and friends were great supporters of the Academy of Kempo’s “Help a Child Initiative”. The “Help a Child Initiative” is a program started in October of 2009 by Frank Ciarleglio, the Instructor at the Academy of Kempo Martial Arts in Hamden, to help children with life threatening diseases. “Our program is designed to collect item such as arts and crafts material for children as young as infant to 21 years of age. These items include but are not 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.  “We are very fortunate to have gained the support of local businesses like Middletown Nissan to help the Academy with this ongoing project,” said Ciarleglio. Middletown Nissan collected 117 arts and craft kits, toys and games for the children undergoing their cancer treatments.
