Three young men from Fayette County are looking to achieve the goal of becoming World Champions, but to do that they will have to travel to Huelva, Spain.

Jacob Little, age 10, is a blue belt, Justin Franklin, age 14, is a junior black belt, and Brendan Nabors, age 14, is a red belt. The trio are all members of the WKA USA Karate Team and have their sights set on bringing home the gold from the World Championship competition set for Oct. 25 - Nov. 3. All three are point fighters, with Justin also participating in continuous fighting competition.

In order to travel to Spain, the group is in need of funding and is recruiting the help of their community.

There are two fund raisers being held for the team including a Swamp John’s dinner and Krispy Kreme doughnut sale.

To order doughnuts or purchase tickets for the Swamp Johns dinner go by Anderson Hardware or Becky’s Beauty Shop.

The doughnuts are $5 per dozen with a delivery date of Aug. 7. The Swamp Johns dinner tickets are $10 each and will be available July 16 from 4 p.m. until 7 p.m. at the Walmart parking lot in Fayette. You must have a ticket to receive your meal.

If anyone would like to make a donation, mail it to WKA Karate Team, P.O. Box 99, Fayette, AL 35555. For more information you may call 932-2025, 932-4531 or 932-0529.
