Kicking for a Cause

Fox Valley United Way is thrilled to be the 2026 nonprofit beneficiary of the "Kicking for Kids" Kickathon, a unique and impactful annual martial arts fundraiser hosted by Eddie Perez of the Defense Training Institute in Aurora.

On October 3rd, 2026, students at the DTI will kick for a cause, raising money to support our Holiday Assistance family sponsorship program and 'kick' off the 2027 Holiday Assistance season!
