This is the first time ever that a collegiate boxing event has taken place on the Eastern Shore . At the morning pre bout meeting all coaches we very excited about being here and made comment about coming back next year if this event is successful. This will be an unforgettable time for all ages while at the same time supporting the Main St Gym.

The Main St Gym is a non-profit that has worked with at- risk kids in the the area for over 18 years. We are now expanding by building a new facility so we can do more work with more kids. Our success has now gained the attention of the school system which refers many of their problem students to us and we welcome the challenge. All of the proceeds form this event will divide evenly between the Main St Gym, for our building fund and the University of Maryland Boxing Club so they can continue to operate. If you are not familiar with our program, and wish to learn more, I welcome you to come visit the gym and let me give you broader picture of what we do.
