PRESS RELEASE – OFFICIAL STATEMENT RE: HURRICANE SANDY AND MTATM2
November 5, 2012 New York,NY: As the Northeast recovers from the devastation left behind by Hurricane Sandy, TaKe-On Productions will use the November 10thMuay Thai at the Mecca 2 event as a way to help those affected by the storm.
“This is our opportunity to step up! We can use Muay Thai as a way to unite the efforts of our fans, and do what we can to help the people who need assistance the most” stated TaKe-On Productions CEO Mike Gasparski earlier today.
There will be a donation table in the theater lobby at Muay Thai at the Mecca 2, and we encourage our fans to bring articles to help those in need (clothes, food, etc.) to the donation table.
In addition, TaKe-On Productions will hold a 50/50 raffle at the event with all proceeds going to help victims and their families.
Along with the above efforts, TaKe-On will be donating Muay Thai gear to help rebuild CROM Martial Training (Rockaway Beach, NY) which was severely damaged by Hurricane Sandy. We will also provide free Muay Thai at the Mecca 2 tickets to the residents of Rockaway Beach, and any students of the CROM Martial Training Gym.
Finally, a portion of proceeds from ticket sales made through www.takeonnyc.com (just enter the word "donate" in the Company Field) between now and Friday, November 9th will also be donated to help residents of areas most affected by the storm.
“From the beginning, our mission has been to grow the sport of Muay Thai, and to give the fighters who work so hard an opportunity to really shine. Now we have a responsibility to help others on a much larger scale”, added TaKe-On Productions President Eddie Cuello.
