Kicking cancer

 Southfield-based Jaffe Raitt Heuer & Weiss, P.C. recently supported a fundraising event to benefit Kids Kicking Cancer, helping to raise $10,000 for the nationally recognized non-profit organization.

The event was coordinated by Deborah Rubin (left), one of Jaffe’s attorney’s in partnership with Kids Kicking Cancer founder, Rabbi Elimelech Goldberg (right).  

Kids Kicking Cancer was founded in metro Detroit and helps children manage the stress and pain of their disease and treatments through personalized coaching instructed by black belt martial artists.

These children achieve power, peace and purpose by teaching their deep breathing techniques to others to help them reduce stress.

Approximately 100 children participated in the Kids Kicking Cancer event held at The Sports Club of West Bloomfield.
 
The participants collected donations then participated in a sporting activity that included gymnastics, tennis or martial arts.  
 
“It is an honor to work for a firm that is so supportive of local charitable organizations and this event was no exception,” said Rubin.
 
“With Jaffe’s support, we were able to sponsor an amazing event, raise significant funds and ultimately, help ease the pain of very sick children while empowering them to heal physically, spiritually and emotionally.”
