Expanding to a New Gym to Serve More Youth

We’ve outgrown our current space — and we need your help to take the next step. With a waitlist of over 300 young people eager to join our programs, it’s clear that our mission to empower youth is stronger than ever. Our new gym, three times the size of our current one, will allow us to serve more youth, offer more services, and have a greater positive effect on our community. Your donation will help us create a space where young people can grow, learn, and thrive. This is more than just a gym — it’s a future we’re building together.

It’s More Than Just Boxing…
