Since 1991, GAKAD has provided children from disadvantaged backgrounds mentorship and a place to come and develop themselves both physically and mentally through the sport of boxing. Youth between the ages of 8 and 18 are eligible, and are typically referred through a school councilor, parole officer or religious leader in their community. Through the gym and the relationships these children develop with their trainers and other GAKAD mentors and councilors, GAKAD participants develop the self-confidence and discipline to help them make better decisions in their lives, have hope in their futures, and above all, to stay in school. Help these kids help themselves!!!

Tickets for the event are priced at $800 for Platinum Tables (seats four), $500 for Gold Tables (seats four), $250 for platform seating, $100 for floor seating and $50 for standing room.

Learn more about the non-profit, GAKAD, at our website, Gleason’s Give A Kid A Dream: http://www.gleasonsgiveakidadream.com.

Or visit our event website to donate, and to support our amateur fighters who are training and working so hard to raise money for the kids. May At BB King’s: http://www.mayatbbkings.com/home.html.
