Kaizen Black Belt Academy Raises $760 for ACMH at Annual Picnic

August 19, 2026 by Leave a Comment

We’re incredibly grateful to Kaizen Black Belt Academy for choosing ACMH as the beneficiary of their annual picnic fundraiser!

As part of the picnic, students and families had the chance to purchase pies to throw at their instructors, with $10 buying one pie and $40 buying enough to pie all of the teachers. We set a goal of $500, and the Kaizen community blew past it. The fundraiser brought in $390 in sales, and Kaizen Black Belt Academy generously matched the proceeds, bringing the total raised to $760. And our own Executive Director, Carla Pretto, got pied too!

We’re incredibly grateful to the students, families, instructors, and everyone at Kaizen who helped make this fundraiser such a success. Your support helps ACMH continue creating opportunities for children, young people, and families across Michigan to find connection, build confidence, and know that their voices matter.
