2008 Car Wash/ Fundraiser
to benefit Prescott Valley Food Bank Flyin’ High Turkey Drive.
Students got together and decided to hold a car wash to see how much money they could raise to purchase turkeys for the Turkey Drive in Prescott Valley. After a long day of scrubbing cars in front of the Western Wearhouse, and with generous support of supplies by Checker Auto, the students raised a grand total of $311.00. Thanks to Fry’s Food Stores, they were able to turn that into a donation of 60 turkeys, for the Flyin High Turkey Drive on Monday November 24th.

2008 Create a Tree-Holiday Tree Display event at the Civic Center in Prescott Valley
to benefit Prescott Valley Food Bank Flyin’ High Turkey Drive.
Shinpu-Ren entered the Create a Tree- Holiday Tree Display event at the Civic Center in Prescott Valley. This was the first time they have entered this event. The students got together and built a large paper Mache tree base / trunk. After this part was completed they took the branches from an old artificial Christmas tree and fashioned them into branches for a very oversized bonsai style tree. All of the photo decorations were handmade by the students. Sparkly pipe cleaners and Popsicle sticks made wonderful photo frames. The tree had old sparring gear, belt rank colored ribbons, small trophies and medals, and hand made karate ginger bread men. The trunk was tied with real belts and the tree topper was a stuffed eagle. The tree was named “The Shinpu-Ren Tree of Champions” in honor of all of the students who attend the school. Happily the tree was selected as the favorite and won the Peoples Choice award, which really made the students happy. The students also put on an impromptu demo for the visitors in the Civic Center, the evening of the big Prescott Valley Electric Parade.
