October 7, 2013- The scene was the County Center in Mineola, NY.  It was 11:00AM.  A small crowd of press, public and interested parties gathered to hear Nassau County Executive, Ed Mangano, formally declare Saturday October 19, 2013, the date of the 2013 NY Open Taekwondo Championships and Korean Cultural Festival, "Taekwondo Do Day" in Nassau County.  The County Executive lauded the event and its sponsor for the continued contributions and philanthropic work done in Nassau County.  This exciting Press Conference was an important precursor to the actual event which shall take place in less than two weeks at the historic Cantiague Park Ice Arena in Hicksville, NY.

This declaration is more than a mere honor bestowed upon the YH Park Taekwondo Academy for sponsoring one of the premiere martial arts and cultural events in the country; it is an acknowledgement of the power of the partnership between local government and private enterprise.  The NY Open Taekwondo Championships and Korean Cultural Festival has become a major event, which brings international attention, visitors, revenue, and excitement to Nassau County.

Perhaps the most significant contribution of the NY Open Taekwondo Championships has been the charitable giving that the event sponsor, The YH Park Taekwondo Academy, has undertaken.  In the past, major charitable organizations have benefited from donations from the proceeds of the event's admission revenue.  This year is no exception.  It was announced at the Press Event held today that the proceeds of this year's event will be donated to the Nassau County Hurricane Sandy Recovery Fund.  This organization provides vitally needed funds to victims of last year's Hurricane, which devastated parts of our region.  The donation from the event's proceeds will make a measurable contribution in improving the lives of residents of Nassau County, which is all part of the philanthropic mission of the YH Park Taekwondo Academy.

The 2013 NY Open Taekwondo Championships and Korean Cultural Festival will take place on Saturday October 19, 2013 at 9AM at the Cantiague Park Ice Arena in Hicksville, NY.
