Donate Today & Support DBG
The needs are great!
While generous volunteers and participating vendors help reduce certain expenses, the cost to provide one year of services for just one student at the Downtown Boxing Gym still totals over $7,000. We have 150 students and an ever-growing waiting list. With your help, we can give more and more children a fighting chance at a winning future!
The boxing gym is always in need of academic and athletic equipment and supplies.
