Hi everyone! 💖
I am incredibly honored to be a part of this event and be surrounded by amazing and inspiring contenders.
This cause matters to me because without financial support programs like what Eastside Boxing offers, I wouldn't have been able to participate in some of the recreational activities in my youth. I would love to support this cause and support this experience for youth, as I know it was important in my childhood and I am incredibly thankful for it. Being a part of this event is pairing a cause that I am passionate about and a sport that I love. I am looking for the support of my friends, family, and community to meet my charitable goal.
No, I do not have a lot of boxing experience - but I am ready to train.
No, I have never been in a fight in my life - but I am ready to give er.
No, I do not work in the restaurant industry - but I do work in the film industry: an equally supportive community of hard working and caring individuals. I know that through their support, we can make great change in the community.
If you'd like to see me get punched in the face or punch someone else in the face, please donate now! 💖
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.
Restaurant Rumble 2022
Every year bartenders, chefs, dishwaters, servers, baristas and all sorts of individuals from the Vancouver community get together to train at Eastside Boxing Club to fight in Restaurant Rumble.
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.
