2nd Annual SJC Boxing Gym Open House and Fundraiser
Saturday and Sunday January 7 & 8, 2012 from 12:00 noon until 5:00 PM, each day
The internationally known SJC Boxing Gym “Home of Champions,” will be celebrating our 2nd annual Open House and Fundraiser on Saturday and Sunday, January 7 and 8, 2012 from 12:00 noon until 5:00 PM each day.
The gym has trained boxers from 63 different countries, produced 10 professional world champions and numerous amateur champions throughout the years. Press conferences from the gym have been broadcast internationally. Movie and television scenes have been filmed in the gym. More importantly, the gym has helped the youth of Southwest Florida to help themselves and there are many local success stories to share.
The SJC Boxing Club, Inc., a branch of SJC Boxing, was set up as a 501(c)3 non profit organization in 1992, by Steve Canton, a Florida Boxing Hall of Fame inductee of the inaugural class of 2009, who has donated countless hours and dollars helping the youth of Southwest Florida.
SJC also has an excellent and highly successful Boxing for Fitness program for all people, young and old, male and female, who want to lose weight, get in shape, and/or learn self defense.
The purpose of the Open House Weekend is to raise funds for the amateur boxing program, to increase awareness and illustrate the importance of the programs offered, and expose new people to the benefits that SJC Boxing provides.
The Florida Boxing Hall of Fame will be announcing the new inductees for the Class of 2012, on Saturday, January 7, 2012 at 2:00 PM, to the world-wide media and all in attendance, from the SJC Boxing Gym.
Everyone is invited; there will be refreshments, door prizes, and a 50/50 raffle each day. Members of the SJC Boxing Team will be present to meet everyone and to work out. There will be videos to watch of SJC Boxers in action. Hall of Fame trainer Angelo Dundee, former world heavyweight champion Pinklon Thomas, John Russell (trainer of Buster Douglas), boxing writers Rick Folstad and Ron Ross, Butch Flansburg, President of the Florida Boxing Hall of Fame, and many other VIP guests will be in attendance, lending their support, signing autographs, taking pictures and meeting everyone who comes by.
