Project Re-Boot & Re-energise

Dungannon Boxing Club - Who are we?

Dungannon Boxing Club is one of the most successful voluntary sports clubs in Mid-Ulster area & beyond. Founded in 1994 by the late Robert Jardine & now re-energised by his son Denver Jardine. We have been bringing communities together for almost 30 years. Building discipline, character, respect inside & outside of the boxing ring. Our 2021/22 season so far has seen Dungannon boxers win a total of 15 Gold Medals & 7 Silver Medals at County, Provincial level. 

Why are we crowdfunding?

Why we need your help...  We have faced many obstacles along the way. But Covid-19 came in swinging and packed a punch. For the first time in our history we were forced to close and cancel all group training and coaching. While this was of course necessary to play our part it had major drawbacks. Development of our members physically, mentally and socially was stopped for far too long. We didn't throw in the towel, we’ve been fighting on and bringing boxing back. We believe sport contributes massively to our community and that everyone should be given the opportunity to participate. With your support we will work tirelessly to provide the best possible facilities and opportunities for our members. Giving them every chance to become successful both as an athlete and a person.  

How you can play your part

With your help we can put in place a programme to really kickstart our project (reboot & re-energise). We can celebrate our last 30 years and future proof our club for the next 30. We will; - update and purchase more equipment to provide the best possible training environment. - take our members on club trips and training camps to places they may otherwise never see and provide them with experiences they will never forget.  - Run multiple boxing shows throughout the year to increase competitive opportunities for more members and purchase new competition kits to increase club awareness. - bring in specialist speakers on diet, nutrition and mental health - knowledge is power! - highlight and preserve the fantastic 30 year history of the club with a series of events throughout 2023.

We believe the above steps will enable our club to fully compete at the highest level.

There are four simple ways to help us reach our target, and make this project a reality.

1. Make a pledge. Don’t delay if you’re going to support us because momentum is key to our success!

2. Spread the word. Share our project on your social media pages and tell the world to get behind us! The more people we reach, the more support we will get.

3. Offer rewards. Get involved if you are a local business by donating things we can offer to our supporters. We will give you a shout out!
