Mary Nicholson established this fund in memory of her son, Bill Gebhardt, to carry on his significant work with children in the State College area community.  Bill was a certified instructor in Jun Fan/JDK, the Filipino Martial Arts, and in Thai Boxing.  He felt strongly that martial arts could turn around the lives of children and help them get back onto a productive and motivated path.  This fund continues his commitment to improving children’s lives. The Bill Gebhardt Fund for Children will benefit the Centre Children’s Fund for fitness programs in Centre County, with consideration for martial arts programs.
