AMERICAN TAEKWONDO REGIONAL TOURNAMENT HELPED BENEFIT CHILDREN OF THE FALLEN™



On Saturday, January 26th, the ATA Leadership Academy of Fayetteville hosted the ATA Regional Tournament, in support of the Army’s Army Children of the Fallen™ mentoring program.

The tournament featured highly-skilled black belts, as well as some of the younger Tiny Tigers, and white, orange and yellow belts who worked their way up to black belt. A portion of all t-shirt sales and entrance fees went towards supporting our Children Of The Fallen™ mentoring program. Thank you to everyone who came out to support this event!

On Monday, January 21st, the Fayetteville Area Convention & Visitors Bureau, (FACVB) in conjunction with the Army’s Army and Cross Creek Mall, hosted a ribbon-cutting ceremony to signify the official grand opening of a cool new play area at Cross Creek Mall.

Even local Mascots such as Truman the Dragon, Fun-Go, the Chick-fil-A cow, Chick-fil-A Jr., and McGruff the Crime Dog were there to celebrate. Thanks to Mr. John Meroski, CEO of the FACVB for being our guest speaker.
