What We Fight For
Recovery Support
We walk alongside people seeking freedom from addiction, connecting them with resources, treatment programs, and encouragement.
Community Boxing Gym
Our biggest goal is to open a free boxing gym where anyone in the community can walk through the doors without worrying about cost. This gym will be more than a training space — it will be a place of mentorship, discipline, and transformation. A safe haven where people of all ages can fight for their future, surrounded by people who care.
Community Outreach
Through fundraisers, school partnerships, and local events, we bring people together to build a stronger, more hopeful community.
Prayer
I waited patiently for the Lord; he turned to me and heard my cry. He lifted me out of the slimy pit, out of the mud and mire; he set my feet on a rock and gave me a firm place to stand.
Psalm 40:1-2
