Michael Holmstrom of Smithtown Boxing in 15th Fight for Charity

September 17, 2018; Smithtown, NY – Michael Holmstrom of Smithtown, Manager of Innovation and Audit Technology at Grassi & Co., an accounting and business services firm located in Jericho, has been selected to be a boxer for the 15th Long Island Fight for Charity, the nation’s only all-volunteer charity boxing event. The Main Event which will be held in November at the Long Island Hilton in Melville is expected to attract more than 1,200 people and raise more than $200,000 for local not-for-profit organizations including Long Island Community Chest, The Genesis School and National Foundation for Human Potential.

Mr. Holmstrom is one of Long Island’s brightest, toughest and bravest business professionals who will step in the boxing ring this November. He has chosen “The Number Cruncher” as his ring name. The card for the Main Event will include up to 10 bouts, pitting local business professionals against each other for charity.

“I love helping others. Training will help me hyper-focus on the task I volunteered for this year. Hard work and dedication in the gym will translate to a better life for a family. I realize that not everyone can fight for themselves. Every punch that I take in the ring at the Main Event will help a family in need,” said Mr. Holmstrom.

"Michael and all of the charity boxers are enthusiastic and committed to making the 15th Main Event exciting, rewarding and a successful charity fundraiser. They are eager to keep rigorous training schedules so they can be ready both physically and mentally for their matches in November,” said Jamie Austin, Long Island Fight for Charity Co-Founder.
