Hi,
My name is Leonel, and I'd like to welcome you to the team. Aprons For Gloves is running their 7th annual event this year, and I'm very excited to be a part of it. Contributing to the East Side Boxing Club's youth and young-adults programme, and female self defence classes, is a pleasure and also a great gift.
The money raised will be going towards all three of these causes. Assisting these groups in benefiting from the offerings at East Side Boxing Club; to not have to worry about finances for gym memberships or food that is offered through the club, is a privilege I welcome with open arms.
You too my friend, can help. I call upon you to donate to the cause, help me reach my goal of $2000 and support a community striving to do great work within our city, planet, and home.
I say welcome to the team because by donating you are not just a bystander. You are also part of my blood, sweat, and tears. Together we will win, because we cannot lose. The option does not exist, the potential is not there, the only way to go about this is to win. The beauty is, that by donating and joining me in my journey of training, you and I both already sip the drink of greatness. When the date comes, sips will be but a memory when we swim in the pool of joy. That my friend, is a Win.
I fight for you. For my brothers, sisters, and all my homies that have gone with the wind. I fight for the graveyard workers, the minimum wage earners, and the people working the block. I fight because I can and because I need to, I fight to be and by doing so, I fight no fight at all. We winning today.
Thanks for your time.
Warmly,
- Leonel, The Smiling Yogi
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 2018
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.
