Project Fighting Chance Going to Nationals Boxing
Four of our boxers ages 10 to 14 have won District and State and National Championships. This past week (January 4-5, 2019) Isiah, Kenny, Terry and Ruffin competed and WON at yet another Regional Championship.
NOW they have another opportunity to travel to and win at the NATIONAL Boxing Finals in Independence, Missouri on January 29.
We are fundraising for Isiah, Kenny, Terry and Ruffin. These young men have committed to rigorous training and coaching and have emerged as NATIONAL CHAMPIONS.
The difference that this program has made in the lives of these four young men is significant. When asked about his best moment in boxing Ruffin, age 12, says "it was at school when they announced over the intercom to the whole school that he had won the national championship in Salt Lake City last year".
All four have high national rankings and have been profiled in a PBS documentary called "Hopefuls":

These young men are HEROES in the Inland Empire. They have been recognized by their schools, news publications, by local government and even on PBS. Their success is nothing short of amazing.
They are shining examples to many other young people in the Inland Empire.
We need to raise $3700 in the next 3 weeks so that these athletes can compete at the highest level of their sport - the Nationals. Your contribution will help with entry fees, flights, hotels and meals for the tournament on Jan. 29 in Missouri.
Project Fighting Chance is a Youth Mentoring Life Skills Program seeking to radically alter the trajectory of children's lives by providing positive life lessons through: athletics, healthy eating, vocational training, education, aggression diversion and social emotional learning skills.
It was established as a vehicle to drive youth away from anti-social behavior and violence and into the organized sport of amateur boxing.
Since 1999, Project Fighting Chance has assisted, trained and mentored approximately 5,000 low income youth between the ages of 8-17. See the website: https://www.projectfightingchance.org
Our Mission is to function as a viable support system for youth and at-risk young adults while assisting them to become positive contributing members of the community. Thanks in advance for your contribution to this cause that means so much to the kids and for becoming one of our supporters.
Sincerely,
Project Fighting Chance
