WHY ARE WE FUNDRAISING?
Since the COVID 19 Pandemic began last March, we've found ourselves closed for months at a time and it has been a big knock for our income. We’re a not for profit organisation run by volunteers so without the Club we can't pay our bills....but we're not beaten yet! We're fundraising to make sure we can keep the doors open and keep our gym Covid-safe for our boxers when they can return.
Members and other local community residents have asked how they can help and this is the way we feel that is the best course of action! - Please support if you can, donate if you can, but don't feel obliged, We know just how difficult this has been!
Our target is £5,000.00 - Anything raised above this target will go into improving the clubs facilities.
Go Direct to our rewards page here and donate if you can!
HOW IS THE FUNDRAISING GOING?
The Fundraising so far is going incredibly well and we've received incredible support from our Club members, the local community and donations from Boxing professionals such as "The Gypsy king" (TYSON FURY), Anthony Joshua, Former super middleweight champion challenger, Henry Wharton, Super Middleweight Champion 'Nigel Benn'.
So far, we have generated the majority of the funds for our project via the sales of Limited edition T-Shirts, Jumpers, Wooly Hats and raffles directly via this page as 'Rewards' as well as extremely generous donations from members of our club, our extended boxing club family and the widespread community surrounding us.
Our aim is to reach our target of £5,000 by the 24th of April and with your help we will smash our target.
Any funds raised go directly towards the running of the club and will help us to stay afloat over the remainder of 2021 and into 2022 anything raised over the total will go towards improving the clubs facilities such as installing air conditioning, new mats, weights, punchbags and additional facilities.
Please Support Us! - Thanks in Advance - From All at Hebden Bridge Boxing Club!
WE CAN'T WAIT TO WELCOME
YOU ALL BACK!
