Community Partnership

Mercer Island Martial Arts has been involved in the Mercer Island Community since 1997.  We are involved in many community organizations as well as donate much of our time to bettering our community. 

This year we are being honored as a "Home Town Hero":

You have been selected to represent your community as a “Hometown Hero” in the 2011 Summer Celebration Parade on July 9^th, 2011. Because of your hard work and dedication to serving your community as a great advocate for youth and violence prevention, your anti-bullying curriculum available for free to schools and other organizations on the Island, and your participation on  the CTC board, we’d like to honor you!

Fundraising

In Feburary 2011, Mercer Island Martial Arts hosted a movie night fundraiser for the Mocking Bird Society.  We raise over $600 for the Mockingbird Society.  Here is a little more about them:

At The Mockingbird Society we are dedicated to building a world‐class foster care system that ensures the care, support, and resources necessary for children, youth, and families to thrive.

The mission of The Mockingbird Society is to advocate for systems reform based on the personal experiences of children, youth, and families impacted by the foster care system.

Several times per year we host fundraisers for our local food bank and for Mercer Island Youth and Family Services.   Our biggest one was in October of 2011 were we collected over 600 pounds of food for the food bank.
