Haymakers for Hope Presents 3rd Annual "Belles of the Brawl," All-Women's Charity Boxing Event for Breast Cancer Survivorship

Boston, MA (September 15, 2015) Haymakers for Hope, a 501C3, non-profit organization, is proud to announce its third-annual, all-female, “Belles of the Brawl” boxing charity event taking place at the House of Blues Boston, located at 15 Lansdowne St on Wednesday, October 7th, 2015. The opening bout will begin at 7:30pm, with doors opening at 6:30pm.

24 brave women from Boston and Greater Boston will compete in boxing matches throughout the night to help raise money for breast cancer survivorship. 2015 is the very first year the annual Belles of the Brawl event will be held at the House of Blues Boston, the same location that annually hosts Haymakers for Hope’s flagship event held in May.

“This is the third year that the bravest women in Boston will be lacing up the gloves to knockout cancer and we can’t wait for these women to show their stuff at the cathedral of Haymakers boxing at the House of Blues,” says Haymakers for Hope Co-Founder, Andrew Myerson. “We have a tremendous card for this year’s Belles of the Brawl and we’re on pace to far surpass last year’s amazing fundraising efforts.”

Haymakers for Hope’s mission is to empower men and women to knockout cancer, by literally fighting for a cure. They give everyday men and women the opportunity to fight back against this terrible disease by giving them the chance to compete in charity boxing events to raise money and awareness for breast cancer research. Each participant is paired with one of several local gym sponsors who provide free, professional boxing training in the months leading up to the event.

“Our organizational mantra has been Not every fight stops at the bell, referring to our endless fight in raising money to knockout cancer,” says Haymakers for Hope Co-Founder, Andrew Myerson.

This year alone, the Belles of the Brawl fighters have collectively raised $52K, a month prior to the event.

Since inception, with events in Boston and NYC, Haymakers for Hope has raised over $3.6M to fight cancer and hopes to raise an additional $170,000 at this year’s Belles of the Brawl event.

General admission tickets are $75 (standing room only), VIP packages with box seating are available for $150 and stage seating is available for $300.
