Charity Boxing Event in Charlotte, Sept. 13/14. Police, Firefighters, Sheriffs, N.C. Highway Patrol to Fight Each Other

UPDATE, AUGUST 8, 2013: Coach Al has stated that the charity boxing event will be held on Friday, September 13th only. On Saturday, September 14th the Carolina's Boxing Invitational will take place at the Revolution Park Sports Academy, 1225 Remount Rd., Charlotte, NC, 28255 (location of the Charlotte Boxing Academy) beginning at 4:00PM. Also, Coach Al regrets that the words "Inaugural" and "Sheriff" were misspelled on the flyer. New flyers are being made with the corrections.


Received the following announcement and attachment from Coach Al Simpson of the Charlotte Boxing Academy:

Hello. I hope you have been doing well and finding time to be with family during this rainy summer! This is our next event in Sept. (see attachment). The event is in honor and memory of 9/11 and 1st responders (police, sheriff, fire and highway patrol), which this year falls on a Tuesday, but the event will be held on that Fri/Sat. This is a charity event where the prize awards will go to selected local charities. Example: 1st place $500, 2nd place $400, 3rd place $300 and 4th place team $200. Each will receive a team trophy, but the money will go to their choice of charity. So it will be 4 people from each dept. (police, sheriff, fire, and highway patrol), and they will box each other in 1min-3rds, with safety headgears and gloves on (need to avoid injuries and keep it safe as possible, but fun!). If you have any thoughts please let me know! Always trying to show the kids to do positive things in the community! Can also do a winter coat or food drive! - Coach Al Simpson.

Cost: 5-14 years $5.00 / 15 years and up $10
