KICKSTART

KICKSTART

KICKSTART is an anti-drug non-profit organization, formed by Chuck Norris on August 16 1990 as the Kick Drugs Out of America Foundation. In 2003, the foundation was renamed to KICKSTART (it still maintains its official name as Kick Drugs Out of America Foundation, but now it has added a "dba" (doing business as) KICKSTART).

The stated mission of KICKSTART is to positively impact children’s lives through the values and philosophies taught through martial arts. Specific goals of the program are to encourage students to resolve conflict productively, avoid participating in gangs, choose drug-free lifestyles, and remain in high school until they graduate.
