Kickathon 2010
Come join your fellow karateka at the 2010 Sun Dragon Martial Arts and Self Defense Kickathon! It’s your chance to demonstrate your karate technique and strong spirit while raising money for Sun Dragon’s scholarship and outreach program at the same time. So, put on your gi pants, Kickathon t-shirt, and come on out!
What is it?
Sun Dragon’s annual Kickathon raises funds for the dojo’s scholarship and violence prevention community outreach programs. Our goal is to raise $9000 this year. You can help us reach that goal by signing up today!
When and where is it?
The 2010 Kickathon will be held at Zilker Park on Saturday, November 6th. Adult events start at 10:00 a.m. and children’s events begin at 11:00. We’ll be finished with the formal events by 12:30 but we’ll be hanging out till 2:00 p.m. to celebrate and enjoy the park.
How do I sign up?
- Register online at sundragon.dojiggy.com or by filling out the information below and returning it to Sun Dragon by October 1st.
- Pay your $10 registration fee by October 1st—you can do this as part of your online registration or when you hand in your form. The fee helps us cover the costs of the event and you’ll get a 2010 Kickathon t-shirt to wear on the big day.
- Set up your personal fundraising page on sundragon.dojiggy.com. This site makes the donation process easy! Through the DoJiggy site, you will be able to create your own pledge page that will allow you to email family and friends to request donations and keep track of those that come in. Steps for setting up your DoJiggy account are listed on the next page. Fundraising through DoJiggy can make the process simpler, but we will happily accept donations via cash or check as well.
As always, we will have prizes for those who participate including gift certificates to Toy Joy, Terra Toy and Build-a-Bear for the kids and everyone will have a chance to win! Every time you get a new sponsor we’ll add your name to the raffle and we’ll draw for the prizes at the Kickathon!
If you have questions or need help, please contact Sensei Joy (joy@sundragon.org), Lesley (lfleach@sbcglobal.net), or Jeremy (jpreacher@gmail.com)
How to Set Up Your Online Fundraising Account
- To set up your pledge page at sundragon.dojiggy.com, you will need to register with the site and create a username and password. If you are already registered (i.e., for the 2009 Kickathon), you can use your existing username and password.
- Logon to the account profile at sundragon.dojiggy.com using your username and password. Select Pledge Control Panel and then Manage Pledge Settings and Other Pledge Drive Options. Then click on Settings.
- In the Personal Pledge Plan, you can edit or confirm your Pledge Plan Options (personal pledge goal, personal statement, email thank you message, Pledge Page nickname and a picture). We encourage participants to set a personal fundraising goal of at least $200.
Note: The Pledge Page Nickname must be completed as it forms a portion of the URL that your friends and family with use to access your Personal Pledge site. If you leave the nickname blank, the Pledge Plan will not be properly configured, and no pledges will be able to be made in your name. Review all the details and then select Update. Your Personal Pledge Page is complete!
How Can My Sponsors Donate?
Your sponsors can donate by cash, check, or credit card. To donate by cash or check, include this information with the donation:
Their Name
Your Name
Address (for receipt purposes)
Amount of Donation
Turn in the donation and the information at the dojo.
To donate by credit card, they can donate online at http://sundragon.dojiggy.com. That is the general address – when you create your Dojiggy account, you will get your own donation page. Make sure you give that address to people so you get credit towards the prizes! Donors will receive an email confirmation when they donate, and you can track your progress towards your goal on your Dojiggy page.
