On June 12, 2011, Boxing by Syd Vanderpool’s Destiny fighters got in the ring at the Delta Hotel in Kitchener to show the Kitchener-Waterloo community that there is more to being a boxer than just getting in the ring and smacking people around.
After eight weeks of intensive training with their team of professionals at the Boxing by Syd Vanderpool Athletic Centre, these boxers raised more than $6,500.00 for local charities in pledges alone. They also delighted the crowd at the charity gala with their exhibition matches in honour of their charity of choice! With percentages of ticket sales and the silent auction items being added to the total, the evening at the Delta raised a total of $9, 018.04.
