Maureen Shae "Moe" World Champion Boxer, prepping our gal Melany Hernandez for her Oct 24th match. Because of people like Maureen, Coach Sal, Officer Jackson and Officer Henderson, donators like Larry Ehrhardt with AWS Automotive, the guys at Noble Fabrications, Tessa at Pure Strength and Conditioning, and groups like Ventura Police Community Foundation etc... these kids have more guidance & support as they become young adults. Forever grateful you guys!

Looking for gym equipment, spread the word. These boxers deserve better. I will pick up donations if you have equipment you aren't using.

Gloves, sweat and dedication. Good job today boxers.
