Honorary Pink Belt

On June 23, Grandmaster Crandall of the American Martial Arts Institute presented Chuck Obernesser with his honorary pink belt and certificate. The pink belt program was created by Grandmaster Crandall to involve his students, ages 5 to 85, in promoting cancer awareness within our community.

This can be done in many ways, including volunteering at a cancer awareness event, or taking a short research exam which makes them more knowledgeable about cancer. Students who complete one of three options in their effort to promote community awareness are recognized by receiving and becoming certified as pink belt ranked.

Community agencies and individuals who become involved with the pink belt program, and in doing so help spread cancer awareness, can be recognized in this program with an honorary pink belt.

Grandmaster Crandall was pleased to honor Chuck Obernesser, who promoted community awareness for the pink belt program, through his involvement in the production of Public Service Announcements, Social Media Promotion, and the segment he produced for the upcoming episode of the ChuckandMikeShow on Facebook.
