I wrote this note last month and several people were nice enough to send in their donations. I would like to thank everyone who gave to this Great course. Next month I will list all the names that were nice enough to donate, But there is still time to donate, no matter how small it is.
Dear Friends,
This year we are having our first Fundraiser for our Junior Olympic Boxing Team, Team New Jersey, that consist of boxers between the ages of 8-16, with a least 5 bouts, to attend the JO Junior Golden Gloves 2011 Nationals.
The 5-day event is being held in Nevada, July 21-25, 2011.
This is a Great opportunity for our young people to get out of the inner city for a few days, and meet & compete against, some of the best kids in the country. These young people come to the gym every day, instead of hanging out in the streets, with dreams of making it big some day, and all they are asking is for that chance, a chance of a lifetime. Even if they don’t continue boxing, a trip like this could be a life-changing event.
We are reaching out to businesses, families, friends, boxing organizations and the rest of the community to help support these young people.
Any donation, no matter how small is Greatly appreciated. The donations will go towards airfare, lodging and food for our young boxers and the trainers/coaches.
You can send your donation, made out to “NJ Association of USA Boxing” to yours truly.
