Hello everyone, I am a recently retired Army Veteran returning to the world as a civilian for the first time in 20 years. Like many Vets, I was excited to retire but worried what I would do with my life. While in the Army, I began boxing. As I got older I realized that coaching other athletes was my passion. I started volunteering in my community and on post at all my duty stations. I even had the opportunity to coach for the All Army Boxing team. As my time grew closer to my retirement date I realized I could not go back to a normal 9-5 job. I finally have the opportunity to be the boss of my life and would really want to take that literally. I want to open my own boxing gym. I want to continue supporting my fellow Soldiers and their families by providing a place where they can come and train for a reasonable price. I have been passionate about training youths in the sport of boxing. I believe that boxing helps build their confidence, discipline, and resilience which in turn develop their leadership skills for the future. I began researching how to raise funds for the startup which led me to this service. I would like to open a boxing gym in Hawaii. I have been training youth athletes in my backyard and will need to look for a suitable location since these classes are getting bigger. I would use the funds for a location, to purchase a boxing ring and boxing equipment for the program. I’m not looking
