Van Fundraiser
Since 2013, over 350 youth have joined Crushers Club, including over 90 who have been justice-involved as well as many youth at greatest risk of becoming involved in the juvenile justice system (excessive school suspensions, affiliation with gang activity). Each day (M-F; noon to 7:30 pm) year-round, Crushers attracts a consistent group of 35-40 youth (ages 7-18) who learn to take ownership of the Club and live up to its ideals (respect, ownership, discipline, and love). Crushers Club operates from dedicated space within Englewood’s Beautiful Zion M.B. Church. Crushers’ facility features a boxing ring, a full complement of
boxing training equipment, a music studio, and homework spaces. Round-trip transportation is provided for justice-involved youth and many community youth to ensure safety. Approximately 85% of the Club’s justice-involved youth do not re-offend, in stark contrast to
the state average in which 85% of justice-involved youth do re-offend within three years. The Club prides itself on its ability to redirect youth at a fraction of the high cost of juvenile incarceration.
We pick up youth from school daily and transport them home. Please help us fund a new van so that we may continue to safely transport youth.
