Martial Arts School in Chico - Make A Difference Day 2016 National Award Winners
Make a Difference Day Ambush Video - Torres Community Shelter in Chico
The Torres Community Shelter in Chico, CA believes everyone deserves dignity, purpose, and respect which is why we are awarding them with $10,000. Each year, Farshad Azad, Grandmaster of Azad's Martial Arts Center, meets with Chico and 29 public school principals, representing 13,817 students, to see what the kids need most. The answer this year: When Chico got rainy or cold, the kids & flip-flops, beat-up sandals, hand-me-down shoes offered no protection or warmth. Azad's response was the Gimme Some Sole and drive for shoes and rain boots. Make A Difference Day was part of his month-long effort. More than half of the 100 pairs of rain boots and shoes were donated that day.
