5. Personal Best Karate Raises Money for Jimmy Fund

Red Sox pride was strong at Personal Best Karate earlier this year as the popular karate school –with locations in Norton, Foxborough, Easton, Norwood and Medfield – participated in the Rally Against Cancer, a fundraiser for The Jimmy Fund.  

Students donated a minimum of $5 for the ability to wear a Red Sox t-shirt to class in honor of Opening Day. Normally they would wear their karate uniform to class.

Because of the generosity of the students and staff, The Jimmy Fund will be received a check for $440 from Personal Best Karate’s participants. The monies raised will go to supporting the missions of the Dana-Farber Cancer Institute.

“We are humbled by the students and staff who donated to this amazing cause,” said Christopher Rappold, founder of Personal Best Karate. “The Jimmy Fund helps so many people and we were excited to offer a fun way for people to help give.”
