On November 30, 2012 Fight for Life Boxing Event returns to the Quiet Cannon, Montebello California. All proceeds benefit the research, treatment, and education programs of City of Hope. The City of Hope charity boxing event started in November of 1994, shortly after Los Angeles County Sheriff’s Deputies, while working patrol in the East Los Angeles area, encountered a young boy who had been diagnosed with cancer. So touched were these deputies that they befriended the young boy and attempted to provide help and improve the quality of life for him and his family.
Although this young boy did succumb, the deputies continued their commitment to helping others and turned to the Los Angeles Police Department to join them in organizing the first of what is now an annual boxing event between the LASD and the LAPD.
This is one of the best Public Safe
ty Boxing events in California. Past events have featured boxing teams from NYPD, FDNY, Los Angeles County and City Firefighters, Scotland Yard, Long Beach PD, LAPD, and LASD. Some of the best fighters in Public Safety have competed in the Fight for Life Boxing Event. Names like, Frank Diaz, John Negrete, Ivan Guillermo, Ray Encinas, Suzie Gras, George Lopez, and Juan Bustamante from LAPD. Chris Barrios, Mike Frazier, Rahsaan Harrison, Jorge Caamal, Angel Vasquez, Larry Cervantes, Jeff Flotree, Brian Stevens, Isabel Sandoval, Erik Ramirez, and Alan Rojas from LASD.
Whatever the outcome from this event, whether the competitors win or lose, they are all in agreement that the true winner here is City of Hope and the individuals they treat yearly.
