Knox County Kids Succeed
HELPING YOUTH GROW
KiCKS started with a vision. It is held together by a group of people that care deeply for the kids of Knox County. We are supported by our community through sponsorships, grants, and pledges. The true foundations of KiCKS, however, are the kids involved in the program!
KiCKS provides a means for children in our community to have experiences through martial arts, fitness, music and dance. These experiences build character and foster both mental and physical health. We provide full and partial scholarships to the youth of Knox County to eliminate the financial obstacles that prevent participation. KiCKS currently partners with Lashley Training Center, Elite Preparedness, The Spotlight and Tavaci to provide local kids with opportunities to participate.
KiCKS emphasizes community. We hope to show scholarship recipients that our community believes in them and wants them to succeed. In turn, we hope to see these youth grown into adults who will then give back to their communities.
