Soke Kinney Memorial Charity Run

The Soke Kinney Memorial Fund is dedicated to making martial arts training accessible to all aspiring young martial artists, including those who’s families may otherwise struggle with financial obstacles.

With the upcoming St. Petersburg Distance Classic Half Marathon in February 2025, our goal is to raise at least $4,000 for the cause.

Your impact of sponsoring one of the first 10 miles of the Marathon at $250 will cover three full months of a child’s Kinney Karate training and belt testing.

Supporting one of the last three miles at $500 will fund a week-long camp where a child can hone their martial arts skills and create lasting memories.

Soke Kinney’s Son, Christopher Kinney, will be running in this race to honor the legacy of his father.

Your contribution can provide life-long skills, relationships, and support to St. Petersburg children.
