Eastside Boxing and Wellness

This week, we want to take the time to remind about the intention behind the Fight for the Future Fund. 🥊💞

This intention is simple, but born from a place of powerful care: every young person deserves the opportunity to heal, grow, and believe in themselves.

Created through a recent partnership between Eastside Boxing and Wellness and YWCA Peterborough Haliburton, the fund exists to help remove the financial barriers so that youth who have experienced, or are experiencing the effects of domestic abuse can access a safe, supportive space where they can build confidence, resilience, and hope for the future.

Over the course of the month, we have shared everything from coach testimonials, to breaking common myths, to even sharing the personal story of Marsha Gaulton, owner of Eastside Boxing and Wellness.

From stories, to facts, to inspirational messaging, we have worked to instill the central idea that boxing is so much more than just learning to throw a punch. ⭐

It's about discovering inner strength, developing healthy coping strategies, building self-respect, and finding a community that believes in you.

When young people are given the opportunity to grow in a positive environment, the impact extends far beyond the gym. It reaches their relationships, their education, their mental wellness, and their future.

Together, we can help create brighter futures one young person at a time.

There's still time to donate to Fight for the Future Fund to help youth in need in our community have access to the healing effects of boxing this summer! 🥊💞

Every young person deserves a safe place to grow, build confidence, and discover their strength.

This is why Eastside Boxing and Wellness, in partnership with YWCA Peterborough Haliburton, created Fight for the Future Fund--a community-driven initiative that aims to provide youth who have experienced, or who are experiencing the effects of domestic violence, with access to structured boxing and wellness programming.

We've said it before, but we'll say it again, through boxing, young people gain so much more than just physical skills. They develop confidence, discipline, resilience, self-respect, healthy coping strategies, and a sense of belonging that can positively impact every area of their lives. ⭐

The fund specifically supports youth ages 12 to 16 who face financial barriers to participation.

Additionally, the fund includes:
--A 12-week boxing program
--Professional coaching and mentorship
--Starter equipment (gloves and wraps)
--Required registration and licensing
--A supportive environment focused on growth, wellness, and empowerment

If you are a parent, guardian, educator, youth worker, or community professional supporting a young person who may benefit from this program, we encourage you to learn more about the application process by visiting: https://ywcapeterborough.org/fight-for-the-future-fund/

Together, we can help youth in our community find courage in the ring and confidence for the world! 💞
