A Great Success!
Each year the academy raises funds for the Daily News Christmas Cheer Fund. In the past eight years we have been able to raise over $14,000.00! (The first year, 2002, we raised just $300.00) One hundred and twenty two students threw a thousand kicks each for a grand total of 122,000 kicks!The Kick - A - Thon was great success and raised $6000.00.
This was TRIPLE our goal!
We all worked together for a great cause.
We hope you did your part to bring a little Christmas cheer to the needy.
