Help Two Local Boxing Champions Represent Imperial Valley on the International Stage!

We’re rallying support for two of the Imperial Valley’s rising stars in the world of boxing — Anael Alejo (11) and Julian Alejo (14) — as they prepare to compete at a prestigious international tournament in Mexico. These two dedicated athletes are not just fighting for victory — they’re fighting for our region, our community, and their dreams.

Meet Anael Alejo: A Champion in the Making

Anael is only 11 years old, but already holds an impressive resume:

State and Regional Silver Gloves Champion

2023 Junior Olympic Silver Medalist

Winner of multiple prestigious all-women's tournaments

Ranked #2 in the USA at 65 pounds

She’s a force to be reckoned with — disciplined, fierce, and a future world champion in the making.

Meet Julian Alejo: A Proven Open Fighter

Julian, age 14, is an open-class fighter who brings incredible skill, determination, and a warrior’s mindset into the ring. He has:

Won multiple championships across the USA and Mexico

Competed against elite talent and proven himself at every level

Julian is showing the world what it means to fight with heart, discipline, and pride — representing not just himself, but his community.

Why We Need Your Help

Anael and Julian have earned the opportunity to represent the Imperial Valley and the Southern Border of California at one of the most competitive international boxing tournaments in Mexico. But talent alone won’t get them there — they need their community in their corner.

We’re asking for your support to help cover:

✔️ Travel expenses

✔️ Lodging

✔️ Meals

✔️ Tournament registration & gear

Invest in Their Future — and Ours

These young champions are not only outstanding athletes — they’re role models for youth in our community, showing what’s possible with hard work, focus, and heart. With your help, we can give Anael and Julian the chance to shine on the international stage and bring pride home to Imperial Valley.

Every donation — big or small — helps move them one step closer to their dreams. One day, when you see them on national TV or winning world titles, you'll be able to say: "I helped make that happen."

Please donate, share, and support these hometown heroes!
