Under the direction of McDonald, US Tae Kwon Do has stayed active in
the community by sponsoring the Parkwood Athletic Association Softball
program, participating in the Adopt-a-highway clean up program, as well

 As
a strong supporter of Chuck Norris' "Kick Drugs Out of America," US Tae
Kwon Do has raised over $4,500 for inner city children. It was also
the first school in the area to offer a full year tuition scholarship
to local deserving children in a program called project Sparrow. To
date, the USTI has given back to the community over $50,000 in
scholarships to children who otherwise could not have had this
experience. The academy has also participated in the annual Toys for
Tots drive.
