It is our desire to target those male youth that are in the situation of foster homes, in and out of detention centers, homeless, no direction, misguided youth, and the hopeless and unloved. Our goal is to get them into a structured program where there is expectations of them such as education, behavior, and respect for authority. The way that we intend to do this is by introducing them to something that helps them to positively deal with the dissapointments, frustrations, and stress will bring, by opening up a avenue for them to release the anger into: Boxing. Our company will provide the following services: tutoring for all subjects, meals and snacks, educational field trips, opportunity to learn how to box, summer jobs, mentor program, 24/7 support for those caring for the members of our boxing club, semeniars on proper parenting, on site professional counseling, and free food, and clothing, for those in need of such services. As you know it takes money to make money, we are a small organization at the idea stages of this business. We need funding for our cause. We need support for those who believe as we do, that with love and guidance, positive change will follow. These youth need the opportunity to see that someone cares and that hope is still alive, even in their current circumstances.
