It’s so hard to fully explain the excitement and great energy at this event, but it’s all for MANNA ON MAIN ST!
We’ve raised over $160,000 and brought them over 6,000 lbs of food total over the years and all proceeds from this event go to that great charity organization, who directly helps our local community!

WHO: Students of Villari’s Self Defense Centers in Montgomeryville, Ambler and Harleysville participate. Non students are welcome to participate if they’d like!
WHY: Manna on Main Street (mannaonmain.org) relies heavily on donations to help those in need. They help in many ways, including a soup kitchen, food pantry, job training and placement, housing and financial aid. We help them so they can help our neighbors! Other charities are also supported and receive donations from this event.
Below are some videos from past events. One of our students, Brian Kissig, for years made a special music video for each of our annual Kick-A-Thon events. I can watch them over and over! Enjoy!
