Long Island Fight for Charity to Announce 2017 Charity Boxers

Long Island Fight for Charity will reveal the courageous men and women volunteer boxers who will enter training to prepare to box in the organization’s 14th Main Event this fall. The “2017 Boxer Announcement Reception” will be held on Tuesday, May 16, 2017 from 6:30 to 8:30 p.m. at The Woodlands, One South Woods Road, Woodbury, NY. Fight for Charity sponsors, boxers, fans and supporters will gather to learn who will be in this year’s boxer lineup, enjoy food and beverages and to network at this upscale event.

This year’s popular and much anticipated Long Island Fight for Charity Main Event will take place in November. It is expected to attract more than 1,200 people and raise more than $200,000 for local not-for-profit charitable organizations. Since 2003, when Fight for Charity was founded, it has supported Long Island charities including Long Island Community Chest, The Genesis School and the National Foundation for Human Potential and more than 30 others. Over $1 million in funds have been raised and used locally to directly assist individuals in need and to support charities that serve individuals with special needs.

Volunteer boxers represent local business and all walks of life. The 2017 boxers have obtained medical clearance and have made a commitment to train, attend organization events and raise funds for Long Island charities.

“The men and women who volunteer to be boxers are to be commended for their willingness to train hard and get in the ring to box for a charity. They are role models in the business community. They are committed to give back to their neighbors in a meaningful and exciting way. The boxers take both the fund raising and training aspects seriously. The announcement reception will be a grand kickoff for a series of Fight for Charity events leading up to the Main Event in November – a night when fans get a ringside view of the volunteer boxers as they face their opponents,” said Jamie Austin, Fight for Charity Co-Founder.

2017 Boxer Announcement Reception tickets are $10 with advanced R.S.V.P. and $20 at the door.
