The John Bray Boxing Foundation is holding the 3rd Annual John Bray Free Youth Boxing Clinic in an effort to continue to help the community in preventing and combating gang violence while promoting discipline and academic success among school-age students. For the second consecutive year, the John Bray Boxing Foundation has teamed up with the LAPD Foothill Jeopardy Program, which is a program within the LAPD's juvenile division that targets children "at risk" of becoming involved in gang activity and offers them a variety of educational and physical projects from tutoring to boxing.
Both non-profits have arranged this Free Youth Boxing Clinic because of the issues with kids that are of crucial importance to the community. Children and young adults face many temptations everyday, whether it is drugs, gangs or peer pressure. The John Bray Boxing Foundation and Foothill Jeopardy Program want to provide these promising young men and women with an alternative where they can feel at home and escape the pressures they have to deal with on a daily basis. Although it is considered a boxing clinic, these young kids will also listen to inspirational speakers, and learn about nutrition, life skills and attitude development!
Every one of all ages is welcome. We have arranged special guest appearances by former world champions Gabriel and Rafael Ruelas, former Contender TV Series Star and current WBC CABOFE middleweight champion Miguel Espino, former IBF world junior middleweight champion Paul Vaden, former middleweight contender Alex "the Bronx Bomber" Ramos, former welterweight contender Randy Shields, former heavyweight contender Alex Garcia, referee Jack Reiss, former heavyweight contender and trainer Justin Fortune, former heavyweight contender Macka Foley, 1984 Olympic heavyweight gold medalist Henry Tillman, 1984 Olympic flyweight gold medalist Paul Gonzales, former heavyweight contender Jeremy Williams, and top trainer and cut man David Martinez.
The 3rd Annual John Bray Free Youth Boxing Clinic is scheduled to take place on Saturday, March 27, 2010 from 10:00 a.m.-1:30 p.m. The event will take place at the LAPD Foothill Jeopardy Facility located at 11844 Glenoaks Boulevard in San Fernando, California.
