I am forever grateful for everyone who attended the Boxing4Brockton fundraiser. It is a beautiful thing to witness when the boxing community and the Brockton community come together to create something special. I am truly at a loss for words for how incredible the night turned out. The energy, the support, the heart. It was all there. It will show when we have a gym filled with Brockton High students training at Cappiello’s Boxing Gym.

​

To our sponsors, thank you for believing in this mission and investing in the future of Brockton. Everyone who bought a ticket played a role in making our city’s youth stronger, more confident, and more disciplined.​

 

To every boxer who stepped into that ring. All the hard work goes unnoticed and un awarded. But I see you and respect the time, effort, discipline you dedicated to boxing. As I can confidently say now. It is not easy and it’s not a glitz and glamour sport. It is a rough sport, but in that rough is where you truly find yourself. Which makes it hands down different than any other sport.

​

This all started from a simple conversation between me and a fellow Brockton teacher during a professional development day. That talk led to an idea… which led to action… which led to what you all saw Saturday night. For that, I am forever grateful. “It’s bigger than us.”
