Since 2003, the
Fight for Charity is the only event of its type, in which businesspeople step into the boxing ring to fight in order to sustain important charity programs. This year the goal is to raise over $200,000 and attract over 1,200 people to the 12th Main Event. To date, Fight for Charity has donated nearly $1 million to Long Island charities.
The mission of Long Island Fight for Charity is to raise funds for the Long Island Community Chest (LICC), The Genesis School and the National Foundation for Human Potential and other charities. LICC is a nonprofit organization charged with helping families that are struggling to overcome life’s challenges.
