Why Does Clearwater Boxing Help Out??
Since we’ve opened our doors, Clearwater Boxing Center has participated in several fund raising events as both volunteers at someone else’s event and as the fund raiser our self through our own events. We’ve collected nearly $10,000 in cash for the Big Brothers and Make-a-Wish Foundations in Pinellas County and we’ve also collected and delivered over $6000 in holiday presents for our annual “Giving Tree” event we hold at Christmas Time. Also, we have volunteered over 1000 hours by participating at others charity events as well as our own. Not bad numbers for an extremely small and young business, huh?
But, why? Why do we do that? Why should we, a small financially struggling company, help others when we need that money ourselves? Because it’s the right thing to do- that’s why…plain and simple. There are people who are less fortunate than us, whether that be financially or because of a birth defect or accident, and we cannot ignore that, not when it’s so close to home.
We believe that charity begins in our own back yard- not thousands of miles away. Since our resources are extremely limited, it is in our best interest to do the most good we possible can with what we have, and it only makes sense to help those right here, right now in our own back yard. That being said, this year’s Box-a-Thon is still up in the air! So, if you know of a non-profit organization that is right here in Pinellas County we want to know who they are!
We have a few in mind: Children’s Dream Fund, UPARC, Hooked on Hope and Pinellas Safe Harbor (homeless shelter). Please vote who you feel we should help this year!
We need that vote soon as we’re having the event on Saturday March 28th at 10am!!
