Smash Hit Kickboxing Club is proud to sponsor the Arthritis Foundation's 2017 Walk to Cure Arthritis at the Detroit Zoo on May 13 and help more than 50 million Americans and 300,000 children with arthritis live better today and keep the foundation’s promise of finding a cure for tomorrow. Smash Hit formed a team, Smash Hit Bod Squad, to show support to the community and recognize the challenges its own members and staff have with arthritis. The Walk to Cure Arthritis is a great, family-friendly event featuring a walk inside the zoo, kids’ activities, networking for patients, and a Zumbabox dance party taught by Smash Hit’s instructor.
