What We Do:
Since 1991, Give A Kid A Dream has provided children from disadvantaged backgrounds both mentorship and a place to come and develop themselves both physically and mentally through the sport of boxing. It gives kids something to hold onto and work towards in tough times. Something to motivate.
Our goal in not to make world champions but to help participants in their formative years.

“The funding goes towards equipment, tutoring, training, competitions, licenses, field trips and a summer camp for the kids,” the 34 year old Hardy told NYFIGHTS. “We also hope to sign on new kids we have on a waiting list. Please do consider coming out. I guarantee a fun night, and this cause is so great!”
