About the project
Tortoise Shell Boxing Club provides a fun and educational environment to support our at-risk youth living in one of the most disadvantaged community of Sacramento. Tortoise Shell provides athletic opportunities for youth in a safe and positive environment through the sport of boxing as well as exercise and weight training. These activities provide an alternate path to prison or gang activity, by redirecting our youth's energy in a positive way.
The Steps
- Certify all members through USA Boxing
- Purchase Equipment for boxers
- Travel Expenses for USA Boxing Tournaments
Why we‘re doing it
Tortoise Shell Boxing Club's founders saw a need in their community to provide better opportunities for children and young adults through the sport of boxing. The need for commitment, communication, and perseverance in today's society is key and lacking; therefore, Tortoise Shell Boxing provides an environment for members to grow and develop these essential skills.
The Capitol Rumble III event provides a community-based atmosphere where members of the community can gather to socialize, share accomplishments, view live entertainment, and create moments that will be shared for a lifetime.
