Martial arts students fight hunger

Camarillo Taekwondo Academy is sponsoring its inaugural KickAThon for Hunger charity event from noon to 2 p.m. June 16 at 676 E. Ponderosa Drive in Camarillo.

Academy students will gather pledges, either a flat donation or on a per-kick basis. At the event, they will kick for three minutes to earn as much money for the charity as possible. All proceeds will go to Children's Hunger Fund.

"It's our way of helping starving children throughout the United States and the world and at the same time teaching my students the importance of 'community,'" said Frank Moss, academy owner. "Our motto is 'Training people to make a difference.' I want them to understand we should make a difference not only in ourselves but in the lives of others."

The public is welcome to come and view the event.
