\"9Round:9Round: 30 Min Kickbox Fitness<\/p>\n

GREENVILLE, S.C.<\/strong> – 9Round, a fast-growing kickboxing fitness franchise, will host its 6th Annual Kick Event for Breast Cancer on Thursday, October 12, 2017. Throughout the day, fitness enthusiasts will have a unique opportunity to help raise money for the support of breast cancer research and awareness.<\/p>\n

Participating 9Round locations across the United States and Canada will donate one penny for every kick recorded.<\/p>\n

\u201cAlmost everyone knows someone directly or indirectly affected by breast cancer – whether it\u2019s wives, mothers, sisters, daughters or friends,\u201d said 9Round CEO and founder Shannon Hudson. \u201cWe also have many 9Round members who are breast cancer survivors. The Kick Event is a way for us to show our support in the fight against breast cancer.\u201d<\/p>\n

Since the event\u2019s inception in 2011, 9Round\u2019s Annual Kick Event has grown from a local event at 10 locations in South Carolina to some 400 9Round locations across the US and Canada. In six years, 9Round\u2019s Kick Event has recorded almost 37 million kicks and raised nearly $370,00 to advance breast cancer treatment and laboratory research. Hudson hopes this year\u2019s event will record 25 million kicks and donate $250,000.<\/p>\n

\u201cThis annual event has really become loved by franchisees, and by members even more,\u201d says Hudson. \u201cAnyone can participate. The only thing people need to do is donate their time by coming to workout with us at any participating 9Round location.\u201d<\/p>\n

Event participants can just walk in and work out. Instructors will record the number of kicks each person completes throughout the day and the number for all participating locations will be added up to calculate the total donation amount.<\/p>\n

Heather Hudson, COO and co-founder adds, \u201cI love bringing awareness to the fact that exercise is a huge part of the preventative control of breast cancer. While we search for a cure, we also want to actively promote prevention! It\u2019s been surreal to see something that started locally and so small, turn into something that our entire 9Round Nation does each year. We are making a dent in this universe, for sure.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
