People of earth! Lend me your funds!
Hello! My name is Alex Adu-Darko. I just turned twenty eight and have entered this boxing competition. I previously had contended in another boxing match. It was for the same club and for the same cause!
The East-side Boxing club program for at-risk women and youth offers free mentor-ship 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.
I hope to be able to make my goal of two thousand dollars! all the proceeds will be going to the boxing clubs at-risk women and youth program. Also by making my donation goal by the middle of July, I will be allowed to contend in another amateur boxing match! With your help not only myself, but many others will be able to enjoy the invigorating sport of boxing!
