My name is Mark McGee and I am the Dallas Area director for Mile High Karate. Several years ago I made a personal decision for all of my Mile High Karate instructors to donate 30 to 40 hours per month of their time to Collin County Schools.
In addition to their time, each of the Mile High Karate schools donates supplies and establishes fundraisers in conjunction with the PTA to raise money for the school. As you know, most teachers spend hundreds of dollars out of pocket to maintain the correct amount of supplies for their kids.
One of our programs (KIDS OF CHARACTER) has raised over $10,000 to local schools to buy supplies, and sponsorship for PTA related activities. Also, my instructor, Stephen Oliver, is personally involved with Chuck Norris' Kick Drugs Out of America – and has been their leading fundraiser in the United States and is involved with teacher training for their organization and 1,600 martial arts school throughout the country. Grand Master Oliver’s instructor is Grand Master Jhoon Rhee - who has been the official karate instructor for the congress and senate for over 30 years and is working to develop the Joy of Discipline program with the help of the secretary of education and many renowned educators.
However, we want to make a more dramatic impact.
This school year we want to raise $5,000 for your PTA. Five-thousand in supplies for our kids, grants for teachers, and scholarships for our students.
It’s an ambitious goal, but I know that our partnership will benefit our community like never before. From August 15th to August 30th, we’re ear-marking school supply donations and a portion of our new student enrollment to your organization. I would love to say that Allen Schools supports this goal.
For the success of our children,
Mark McGee, MBA
