If you're looking for an organization to get behind - and support in 2020 - please check out Boxing out Negativity!
Boxing out Negativity is a non-profit organization, in Chicago, that teaches boxing ... but it's so much more. While it teaches them how to fight, Coach Derek Brown and his amazing team help mentor young people to learn more about who they are, who they're growing to be, and to find their purpose. They are helping to empower youth to see the best in themselves.
It's been a privilege to visit the gym a few times, and also watch the last fight of the 2019 season. You can see the dedication, perseverance and mental strength that is being built as these young men - and women - learn to box.
It’s not just about punches - the program is teaching life lessons too - helping prepare these amazing young people for the real world.
Coach Brown has been teaching - and mentoring - for over 10 years now, and his story is a powerful one! Please consider checking this organization out, and reading more about him and these incredible young people.
