Downtown Boxing Gym Youth Program

Please join us in making a difference!  We are raising money to benefit the Downtown Boxing Gym Youth Program (DBG).  Given the current COVID-19 pandemic, your contribution is much needed and will help make a significant impact.  Thanks in advance for your consideration. 

Individuals or even organizations are not defined by their challenges, but rather by the manner in which they respond to adversity.  We could not be prouder of DBG’s response to the COVID-19 crisis.  Initially, DBG pivoted quickly from a program inherently reliant on face-to-face interaction.  The gym creatively transformed itself to provide more than 50 hours of virtual mentoring and tutoring content per week.  Despite a significant hit on its funding sources, DBG continued to provide academic, technology, and physical fitness support to its students and even expanded its efforts in helping the community by providing essential food and supplies.
