CYBC Celebrates 2 Years!

 
It's the second anniversary of the gym opening, and it has been amazing to see the impact of the organization in this time. The space that CYBC provides to develop both mentally and physically is really making a meaningful difference in the lives of these youth. In our two short years we have already seen many successes:

• Growth from volunteer to paid coaching staff
• 60 youth members, both young men and women
• 15 adult members, both men and women
• Boxers who have competed at the Citywide finals, Junior Olympics, and the Golden Gloves Finals
• Mentorship and internship opportunities
• International trip to Tamaula, Mexico to help start a boxing gym
• Highlighted on WGN News (to watch the video: http://bit.ly/sZmfo)

Come celebrate with friends and families who believe in our mission of positive youth development. We will be marking our growth and highlights with a boxing show in the gym followed by a banquet dinner and program.
