Greetings Everyone,
I would like to ask for your help. My name is Peter Hall-Patch, your friendly neighbourhood server from Six Acres, and I'm trying test my MIGHT on July 27th. I've never taken on a physcial and mental challenge like this before, and with your help, I will be able to finish what I have started. I've always asked myself; do I have it in me to step into the ring? Help me find out!
I'm really excited to keep training with the amazing coaches at Eastside Boxing. They have been super helpful in not only the boxing training and conditioning, but also in helping me find confidence in myself.
By donating to my campagin, I can complete my training and hopefully get a fight in Restaurant Rumble 2016. More importantly, the donations are going to an amazing non-profit organization: NICCSS Vancouver Roving Leaders, who help at-risk women and youth in eastside neighborhoods get off the streets and into The Eastside Boxing Club. The organization offers great programs which teach self-respect, hard work and discipline.
Anything helps so please donate and let me represent Six Acres and ESB on July 27th!
I know a lot of you want to see me get punched in the face, so donate to make it happen.
Sincerely, Peter Hall-Patch
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. The program offers free mentorship and training to individuals who may otherwise not have the resources or support to participate in such activities. The sport of boxing teaches discipline, respect, hard work and self-control. Training results in positive self-esteem, good health and camaraderie for its practitioners.
Restaurant Rumble 2016
Every year bartenders, chefs, dishwaters, servers, baristas and all sorts of individuals from the Gastown community get together to train at the Eastside Boxing Club to fight in Restaurant Rumble.
In order to attend training, each fighter is required to raise $2000 for charity before they can compete at the Rumble.
