Clinton TaeKwonDo Academy students and instructors presented Hunterdon Regional Cancer Center with a donation of $22,000 they raised from their Kick-a-Thon held on April 25th and Break-a-Thon held on May 17th. The students collected pledges “per kick” with a goal of doing several hundred kicks each.

Frank Paul, Owner and Chief Instructor of Clinton TaeKwonDo Academy and 4th Degree Black Belt, has a family history of cancer and is deeply dedicated to raising money for this important cause. “I’m well aware of how difficult it is to fight cancer and I’m really happy that we can make a difference for the patients at Hunterdon Regional Cancer Center. I’m particularly glad that we can have an impact in our own community,” says Paul.

The money raised from these two events will be donated to the Patient Care Fund at Hunterdon Regional Cancer Center and also help to purchase equipment for the cancer center.

Hunterdon Regional Cancer Center, a partner of Fox Chase Cancer Center, features comprehensive medical and radiation oncology services, early detection and screening programs, nutritional support, genetic counseling, psychosocial services, clinical research, education and support programs.
