Fight for Charity Call for Boxers - Qualifications: Drive and Genuine “Give Back” Spirit

January 23, 2017 – Are you a person with deep roots in the Long Island business community and want to participate in a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity? Do you relish both physical and mental challenges and possess a spirited drive to “give back” and improve the lives of fellow Long Islanders? The Long Island Fight for Charity the nation’s most unique charity fund raising event and program in the United States is now conducting its search for 2017 volunteer charity boxers. Since 2003, nearly 300 men and women have earned the title of LIFFC Alumni Boxer. If you ever wanted to do something different and challenge yourself this is the year to make the commitment.

The LIFFC 14th Main Event to be held on Monday, November 20, 2017 will feature 10 or more bouts between volunteer charity boxers who have demonstrated their personal commitment to: raising a minimum of $5,000 for the Fight for Charity organization’s fund raising goals that benefit local charities; intensive physical training; and participation in promotional activities and media interviews. Over $1 million has been donated to Long Island charities since LIFFC’s founding.

Applications are now being accepted for volunteer charity boxers who will enter training to prepare them for stepping in the ring at the 14th Main Event. Boxing experience is not required. What is required is a commitment to fundraising, “character,” a willingness to train and be ready to meet a business colleague toe-to-toe in the ring in front of a thousand fans. This is a rare opportunity for individuals to make a personal commitment of time, talent and to truly “give back.” Hundreds of men, women and children here on Long Island who are dealing with life’s struggles will be the benefactors. Since 2003, LIFFC has distributed funds each year to Long Island charities including: Long Island Community Chest, The Genesis School, National Foundation for Human Potential (FREE) and other local charities.

“Fight for Charity brings out the best qualities in the men and women from the Long Island business community who want to ‘give back’ in a meaningful way. Last year’s Main Event was very successful in terms of attendance, sponsorships and the funds raised to support local charities,” said Fight for Charity Co-Founder Matt Silver. “The dedication and commitment of the boxers was inspiring. We challenge members of the Long Island business community to step up and step into the ring at the 2017 Fight for Charity.”
