To further their expansion on to the west coast, Find A Dream—a 501 c (3) nonprofit organization that reaches out to community children and provides them a healthy channel to find and work towards fulfilling a dream—has announced that they will be partnering with DG Boxing of Long Beach.
Last year Find A Dream teamed up with Pete Guthrie and One Punch Fitness in Myrtle Beach, South Carolina, to provide an outlet for local kids, and they are anticipating the same success in Long Beach.
“We are very excited about partnering with DG Boxing as we know there are countless kids in the Long Beach area that can benefit from boxing,” said Rod Ricciardi, founder of Find A Dream. “DG Boxing is already well established, and together we can offer the ultimate facility to keep kids off the streets and give them something positive to focus on.”
In addition to DG Boxing’s team, including head trainer and owner Anthony Skalberg, Find A Dream Board Members and former world champions Ray Mercer, Michael Moorer and Bobby Czyz will be visiting the gym frequently, offering their insight to the boxers and working with the kids to pass along their experience and knowledge inside and out of the squared circle.
“I think it is great, we got kids that we can start bringing in to train,” said Fasci of DG Boxing. “We have some kids now that we train, and we focus on keeping them on track, by showing their report cards, and doing well in school. It’s all about the kids, and boxing is a great way to take them off the streets and keep them out of gangs.”
Going forward over the next weeks Find A Dream will be announcing various charity events around the Long Beach and Los Angeles as they look to spread awareness of the cause and garner exposure for the new facility at DG Boxing.
