Delia DeSalvo of Massapequa Boxing In 15th Fight for Charity

August 22, 2018 ; Massapequa, NY– Delia DeSalvo is a physical fitness trainer who has been selected to be a boxer for the 15th Long Island Fight for Charity, the nation’s only all-volunteer charity boxing event. The Main Event which will be held in November at the Long Island Hilton in Melville is expected to attract more than 1,200 people and raise more than $200,000 for local not-for-profit organizations including Long Island Community Chest, The Genesis School and National Foundation for Human Potential.

A resident of Massapequa, Ms. DeSalvo is among Long Island’s brightest, toughest and bravest business professionals who will step in the boxing ring this November. She has chosen “Dynamite D” as her ring name. The card for the Main Event will include up to 10 bouts, pitting local business professionals against each other for charity.

Most of all it is a way to join others to support charities that have programs that truly help people who are having financial, health or other problems, said Ms. DeSalvo.

"Delia and all of the charity boxers are enthusiastic and committed to making the 15th Main Event exciting, rewarding and a successful charity fundraiser.
