Omar Juarez’ Touching Story with Special Needs Child

BROWNSVILLE, TX (November 10, 2020) – The rapidly expanding emergence of an inspirational leader continues unabated in the personage of undefeated super lightweight prospect, Omar Juarez (9-0, 4 Kos). An outstanding professional boxer by trade, Juarez is rising on the national stage with his recent designation as brand ambassador for the newly formed partnership between the California based Feet First Foundation and the globally recognized World Boxing Council’s humanitarian branch “World Boxing Cares”.


Omar Juarez’ carefully crafted message about the principles needed to achieve goals has positively affected young people’s lives in his hometown, Brownsville, Texas since he was 15-years old. The overwhelmingly positive feedback he has received from young people about his message has inspired him to even greater heights in this endeavor.


None more than a touching tribute he just received from a special needs child named Isaias, who deals with acute challenges that include communication. Isaias is limited to communicating through a laptop and was a frequent visitor to Omar’s gym on Fridays when it was opened to special needs kids.


As the pandemic took hold, Isaias found himself isolated at home and began to feel the effects of this isolation, he typed out a message of gratitude to Omar for being a source of inspiration and hope. His family acknowledged to Omar the much needed solace this represented to their son.


“To hear a message like the one I received from Isaias and his family made my day,” said Omar Juarez, who fights under the Premier Boxning Champions banderoll. “Its moments like these that keep me motivated as I continue to be a positive role model in my community. As a Chinese proverb states…I alone cannot change the world, but I can cast a stone across the water to create many ripples.


These are the touching moments that energize Omar as he continues his quest to become an inspirational leader on a worldwide scale.

“VI LÄRER KARAKTER GENOM KONSTEN MED TEXTBOKBOXING”
NEW YORK, NY (Oktober 19, 2020) - Den Feet First Foundation är glada att tillkännage ett samarbete med “WBC bryr sig”organisation, ett community-uppsökande program bildat av World Boxing Council i 2006. De två partierna har gått ihop för att lyfta fram den transformerande kraften i boxning, och hur läroboksträning kan hjälpa till att förbättra livet för många elever i skolor över hela världen.

Genom att samarbeta med WBC Cares, Feet First Foundation, som redan har haft över 10,000 studenter går igenom sitt program, syftar nu till att utvidga sin läroplan nationellt som ett stöduttag för skolor runt om i världen. Feet First Foundation har lyckats med att implementera ett datastödt program som använder boxningsövning och gruppdiskussion för att inspirera stark karaktär hos dessa skolbarn.
Grundades i delstaten Kalifornien i 2017, Feet First Foundation under ledning av medgrundare Dan Dorsett, Sean Sharkey, Zach Micheletti och Brandon Kregel, har förbättrat livet för tusentals studenter och vuxna. Tillsammans med att främja en hälsosam livsstil som innehåller disciplinerad boxningsövning, Feet First-programmet uppmuntrar också ämnen i gruppdiskussioner kring uthållighet, ansvarighet, och respekt.


”Det känns bra att arbeta med ett gemensamt mål att hjälpa andra genom boxningskonsten, och vi är stolta över att samarbeta med en förstklassig organisation som WBC Cares,”Sa medgrundare Sean Sharkey. "Vårt mål är att införliva den här läroplanen i skolor över hela världen och vi tror att vårt partnerskap med WBC Cares bättre kommer att bredda vårt uppdrag för studenter över hela världen."

Vi är glada att stödja deras rörelse med detta partnerskap. ”

I enlighet med de höga standarder som fastställts av detta partnerskap, Feet First tillkännager sin nya varumärkesambassadör, obesegrad superlätt vikt Omar "El Relámpago" Juarez (9-0, 4 Kos), en stigande stjärna som slåss under Premiärboxningsmästare (PBC) banderoll. Omar har bidragit till sitt samhälle i Brownsville, Texas sedan han var 16 år genom motiverande tal till över 35,000 studenter i mer än 20 campus. Han är också den årliga hedersgästen på “A Night to Shine”, ett evenemang med evenemang som hålls för barn med särskilda behov varje mars, sponsrad av Brownsville's “Ner vid gränsen” och de nationellt erkända ”Stiftelsen Tim Tebow".
Omar Juarez är en utföringsform av den starka karaktären som Feet First Foundation och WBC Cares försöker replikera runt om i världen, och båda organisationerna ser fram emot en framtid som hjälper så många barn som möjligt.
”Jag är ett stort fan av WBC Cares-programmet, så det är upplysande att vara en del av denna rörelse med Feet First, som tillsammans vet jag att vi kan hjälpa många studenter. ” sa Juarez. ”Jag tror att detta program kommer att gynna samhället på många sätt. Jag är på."

Undefeated boxing prospect Lamont Powell Escaped 36-bullet shooting without a scratch FoundedGloves Up, Guns Down” välgörenhet

Lamont Powell (R ) is a winner in different ways
(photo courtesy of Ed Diller Photography)
 
FÖRSYN, R.I. (Maj 5, 2020) – Undefeated super welterweight prospectLamont “The Blessed OnePowell, based on a near death experience 2-½ years ago in Providence, could easily have “Tur” as his nickname.
 
The 26-year-old Powell was a three-time Silver Mittens champion, who compiled a 45-4 amatör rekord, prior to turning two years ago. Han är 5-0 (1 KO) as a professional but, due to the pandemic, he hasn’t fought since last August, when he won a 4-round unanimous decision over 14-7-1Ricardo Garcia.
 
Back on that near fatal night in 2018, Lamont and his uncle were sitting in a car in front of Powell’s home, when another vehicle suddenly and surprisingly stopped near them. Two unidentified young men jumped out and starting firing automatic weapons in Powell’s direction. Thirty-six rounds were shot, one hit Powell’s uncle in the leg, but Powell somehow miraculously escaped without a scratch.  
 
No bullets hit me,” Powell confirmed. “I’m blessed and the reason for that is God and my motherwe lost her (Melissa) when I was 3 – who is my guardian angel. We were just sitting in a car, when two kids got out of a car and starting shooting our car. They had extended clips, but I don’t know who they were, and neither do the police to this day. My uncle was taken to the hospital and I had to start watching myself closer.
 
Powell’s grandparents – Phillip Copper ochMary Ann Powell – brought him up, because his mother had passed away and his father was in and out of his life. His grandmother is his legal guardian and his grandfather has been like a father since he was a baby.
 
Naturligtvis, after his surreal experience, Powell dramatically changed his lifestyle. Instead of running the streets and ending up like many people he knew, dead or incarcerated, Powell dedicated himself to boxing and created a charity for high-risk kidsGloves Up, Guns Down, sponsored by Big Six Boxing Academy in Providence, where he trains with his grandfather as head coach, as well as having former U.S. Olympian boxerJason “Big Six” Väg i sitt hörn.
 
After the shooting somebody who had been shot in the head reached out to Powell. They met to talk about what they’d been through and soon createdGloves up, Guns Down, vilken “blew upovernight, according to Powell.
 
Gloves Up, Guns Downoffers at-risk youngsters an opportunity to try boxing as part of an after-school program aimed to keep kids active and out of trouble. Kids are supplied with boxing equipment and taught valuable lessons through boxing with proper coaching and support.
I started boxing when I was eight years old,” Powell added. “Boxing kept me off of the streets and busy. This is a sport outside of school that everyone can get involved in.
 
Powell is promoted by Jimmy Burchfield’s Classic Sports and Entertainment (CES). Burchfield clearly remembers the first time he saw Powell, because he was so impressive running a hilly 2 ½ mile course around a pond at Lincoln Woods State Park.
 
I walk there often, and I’ve watched everybody struggle running those hills, including top athletes, but I saw this kid running the hills without a problem,” Burchfield remembered. “I later found out that he was a boxer and knew I’d never have to worry about him being in top shape.  
 
Lamont came to see me with his grandfather, who has been such a big part of his life, and laterRoland Estrada joined us. I was impressed because Lamont had a full-time job, än, he trains so hard. I learned that he came from one of the toughest areas of Providence and ran the streets as a kid. En dag, he called and asked if I would go with him to the Met School, where he was going to be speaking to about 150 kids and teachers. He spoke about running the streets and admitted that he had done it all. He said to me that if he could impact the lives of one or two of those kids, he’d feel happy, and that brought tears to my eyes. He was going speak at other schools, but this pandemic has put that on hold for now. His program is No. 1 in his life, helping at-risk kids so they don’t repeat what Lamont did when he was younger.
 
I ringen, Powell displays a stiff jab and, Naturligtvis, tremendous conditioning. And like most boxers, he believes that he’ll be a champion someday.
 
Everything is going as planned with CES,” Powell concluded. “My grandfather has been my head coach since day one, Jason also coaches me, and Doc. Estrada is my adviser. Boxing came naturally to me. I just needed to put in the hard work. Someday I will be a champion and I can’t wait to see my grandfather in the ring holding the belt over his head, because nobody deserves that more than him.
 
Burchfield has been a boxing promoter for nearly 30 år, and he agrees that Powell will be a champion someday. “He’s definitely is on a mission to be a champion,” Burchfield added, and he has everything needed to make that happen. This kid has a really good story. He can be a champion and continue helping at-risk kids have better lives. What’s better than that?”
 
Powell, who also gave-away toys to children in need last Christmas at Big Six Boxing Academy, is on the boxing journey of his career that he believes will climax someday with him being crowned world champion.  
 
Kortfattat, Lamont Powell is the total package, in och ut ur ringen. And lucky to be alive!

CONOR MCGREGOR’S PROPER No. TWELVE IRISH WHISKEY TO DONATE $1.3 MILLION TO FIRST RESPONDERS: $1 Million to Tunnel to Towers Foundation in America

IRLAND, Mars 10, 2020 – Eire Born Spirits, the parent company of Proper No. Twelve Irish Whiskey, and the founding team of multiple weight MMA champion Conor McGregor, Audie Attar and business entrepreneur Ken Austin are pleased to announce that Proper No. Twelve will be donating $1.3 million dollars to first responder organizations around the world.



During Proper No. Twelve’s launch in late 2018, founder McGregor and his partners pledged that the whiskey company would donate $5 for every case of Proper No. Twelve sold until donations reached $1 million annually to first responder organizations around the world. Thanks to the tremendous love and support for the brand as well as the high-quality liquid, Proper No. Twelve has become a bartender and consumer favourite, setting sales records for the industry. Proper No. Twelve has sold approximately 200,000 9-liter cases in America and, based on the $5 per case donation the company will donate $1 million dollars in the United States.



The company is proud to announce it has selected the New York-headquartered Stephen Siller Tunnel to Towers Foundation to receive this $1 million donation for the United States. The donation will go towards paying off the mortgages for families of law enforcement officers and firefighters across the country, who were killed in the line of duty and left behind young children. Tunnel to Towers has a score of 100 for Accountability & Transparency on Charity Navigator. Additional donations will be announced in March and April for first responder organizations in Ireland, Kanada, Storbritannien, Australien, Ryssland, Poland and South Africa.



Conor McGregor stated, “I am so grateful to the hardworking team at Proper No. Twelve, our distributors, retailers and pub owners along with the millions of whiskey fans that have embraced the brand generating record sales. These sales enable us to make our first significant donation to such deserving families. First responders around the world are the true-life heroes. They are the ones running into emergency situations. This has been a dream of ours since we started the business. Ken, Audie and I had bold ideas for the brand, and sales have surpassed all of our projections! We are so proud to partner with the Stephen Siller Tunnel to Towers Foundation to honour these proper heroes. The foundation’s goal is to ensure stability and security for these families facing sudden tragic loss. I hope to inspire my fans and all Proper Twelve drinkers to join me and support this worthwhile cause.”



In addition to the donation to the Tunnel to Towers Foundation, McGregor has recorded PSAs (public service announcements) to encourage others to donate $11 per month to the foundation. These spots, one of which can be viewed här, will air throughout the United States on television.



Ken Austin, co-founder of Proper No. Twelve said, “When we began the vetting process on where to give, we saw the fundraising commercials that Tunnel to Towers was playing on TV. My wife grew up in The Rockaways in Queens, New York. Many first responders live in that area and many lost their lives on 9-11, just as Stephen Siller did. Conor said let’s donate the million dollars to Tunnel to Towers, but we need to do more. And through the TV spots with Conor, the hope is that many will donate and we can help raise many millions for the foundation and these families.”



“We are overjoyed to receive the donation from Conor McGregor and his team,” said Tunnel to Towers Foundation Chairman and CEO Frank Siller. “We did not solicit their supportthey approached us and have been nothing but generous, dedicated partners. Conor’s commitment to first responder families can serve as a role model for others. We are extremely grateful, and I know which whiskey we will be drinking this Paddy’s Day and beyond.”

About Proper No. Twelve Irish Whiskey

Numerous Irish whiskey makers sought McGregor’s endorsement over the years, but as a true born and bred Irishman, he did not want to simply endorse an Irish whiskey. Inspired by his pride for Ireland and his love of Irish whiskey, McGregor wanted to create his own whiskey that would match his high standards and make his country proud. McGregor, his manager Audie Attar and entrepreneur Ken Austin developed the brand under the project name “Notorious” through which came the foundation of what was to eventually become Proper No. Twelve. It became a longer and more complicated project than originally expected, so McGregor turned to a distillery with a proven history of quality whiskey making. He met David Elder, esteemed master distiller, previously of Guinness, and together they took painstaking measures to bring the whiskey to fruition. “We created close to one hundred blends and ultimately selected what we knew was the one and only proper whiskey blend. We took the time to develop an incredible whiskey, and I’m excited to share it with the world,” said McGregor. Besök www.properwhiskey.com and follow on Instagram and twitter @properwhiskey.
