Promising to be the “heavyweight” party of the year, this event will make a visual statement for San Diego’s inner city youth, as the community hits a heavy punching bag for 60 seconds, dedicating their blows to the “1,000,000 Punches from the Heart” campaign.
The campaign’s mission – to “punch out” racism, gang violence and police mistrust – creates awareness and supports inner city youth with after-school boxing, in-house educational tutoring and a “Bridge the Gap” school break program that teaches youth to take on life with courage and dignity instead of fear or cowardice.
Tickets for the event are $20 with 100% of the proceeds benefitting ABC Youth Foundation, and includes chef-select appetizer buffet items, two drink tickets and free games. The ABC Youth Foundation is a non-profit organization, created by World Boxing Champion Archie Moore, supports San Diego’s inner city youth.
