On Saturday, March 22, Hwang’s Martial Arts is hosting an event for the Jung Hwang Legacy Foundation at E.P. “Tom” Sawyer State Park Gymnasium (3000 Freys Hill Rd.). The charity event, benefitting the Foundation is hoping to raise $50,000. From 1 – 3:30 p.m., guests will enjoy martial arts demonstrations from all three Hwang’s Martial Arts schools, local shopping, and presentations by the leadership teams. Hwang’s Martial Arts teaches Taekwondo, Judo, and Hapkido.
The event raises money to provide 10 scholarships valued at $1,000 to local students who attend college or other post-secondary education. The fund also helps fund donations to local schools, and Wayside Christian Mission which serves people needing shelter or food security. In 2023, the Jung Hwang Legacy Foundation, which was named after Hwang’s founder, Hwang Jung-Oh who also won a silver medal in Judo at the 1982 Los Angeles Olympics, raised over $60,000 to support the foundation and its mission.
Tickets are available at any Hwang’s Martial Arts location for $10.
