WHILE some may think they are just learning how to break boards, Portland’s Kyokushin Karate Club members spend plenty of time practicing generosity and giving back to the community, which they shared last week with four local causes.

The club had raised $4000 through an auction held on a recent social club night, and decided to give equal shares of it to Brophy Family and Youth Services, United Way Glenelg, The Portland Men’s Shed, and Annie’s Brave Fight Against Leukemia.
