Fighters4Life Annual Boxing Show (circa 2015)
A BIT ABOUT US
& WHY WE STARTED THIS
You may be wondering, who are the people in the photo and why should I care?
The people in that photo happen to be doing something extraordinary and if we do not tell you about it, you may never know…
We are a group of people who, with the help of boxing, have overcome life’s adversities. We are lovers of the sport and its potential for a greater purpose.
The concept of helping yourself while helping others is something unique and can be realized in the form of charitable boxing. The idea is to enter a boxing training camp, raise money while training and in a grand finale, go toe to toe with your competitor.

OUR MISSION STATEMENT
Our mission is to spread awareness of boxing non-profits and leadership behind them. We would also like to spread awareness on the participants who swallow their fear and step up in such a way to help others.
An immense amount of effort is put into these events and we hope that through this new-found attention, we can grow the number of supporters and participants for each and every non-profit that we feature.
