Time to do good!
After six months into my boxing journey, I decided to give back
by entering the ring.
Eastside Boxing Gym is such a unique place in Vancouver. It is
more than a boxing gym. It is a place that help and support many
people through boxing including me. I have the privilege to call it
home.
Today, they need us to keep their boxing program for kids of the
Downtown Eastside, the frontline workers, the parents and tots,
at-risk women, youth and minorities, free and running! Many people
rely on this program and it needs to stay alive.
There is an annual fundraising with boxing fights that I am
planning to participate as a fighter. I will take care of the jabs,
the crosses, and the uppercuts. I need you to participate in my
fundraising.
My goal is to get $2000 by middle of August.
So, please click on the contribution button and add the amount
you would like to give.
Any amount will have an impact! So, thank you if you decide to
help this program.
Also, you can come see me giving punches away in August!

Founded in 2012, Aprons for Gloves Boxing Association is a non-profit organization focused on providing community outreach through the sport of boxing. Based in Vancouver’s Downtown Eastside, the organization was developed by a small group of professionals and entrepreneurs who seized an opportunity to re-establish a historic boxing program for at-risk women and youth. Through Eastside Boxing Club, the program offers free mentorship and training to individuals who may otherwise not have the resources or support to participate in such activities. Why boxing? Because it's a sport that teaches discipline, respect, hard work and self-control. Consistent training results in positive self-esteem, good mental and physical health and social support through peers.
Eastside Rumble 2023
Every year for Aprons for gloves, bartenders, chefs, dishwaters, servers, baristas and all sorts of individuals from the Vancouver community get together to train at Eastside Boxing Club to fight to support outreach projects in DTES. This year the name has been changed to Eastside Rumble to reflect our inclusion and invitation to all people, not just those who work in the hospitality sector.
In order to continue training, each contender is required to meet fundraising milestones along the way. Ultimately, raising $2000 for charity makes them eligible to compete at the Rumble.
