It is our mission at Epic Martial Arts-East to teach our young students how to be leaders in our community. In order to accomplish strong leadership skills we will be continually engaging our students in community service programs that require them to practice leadership.
We are pleased to announce that our first group leadership project will be our work with "Jordan's Initiative", a non profit foundation honoring the life and sacrifice of Marine Lance Corporal Jordan C. Haerter of Sag Harbor, New York. Jordan was tragically killed while serving our country in Iraq in April 2008. He has been awarded the Navy Cross for his extraordinary heroism in saving the lives of 23 United States Marines and over 20 Iraqi Police.
The Sag Harbor community has continued to honor our hero in many ways, including the Jordan Haerter Memorial Bridge, Community Spirit Awards to Pierson High School students, Wheels to Freedom project and Care Packages to our Troops projects.
At Epic Martial Arts-East, we are very excited to participate in the collection of supplies for the Care Package Project for our troops who are deployed in Iraq and Afghanistan. We are encouraging our students to bring in supplies before November 18th and add them to the collection box. On Saturday Nov.19th at 9 am our students will also volunteer to help organize the packages and prepare the supplies for shipment at the Sag Harbor Village Ambulance Barn.
Please visit www.jordansinitiative.com for more information and to support their continued efforts to provide aid and support for military personnel, veterans and their families.
Respectfully,
Sensei
