Challenge for Dylan

TITLE Boxing Club, 87 Fraser Alley

626.340.2500

 

Southern Californian firefighters are putting up their dukes in a test of speed, endurance and boxing skills to find Southern California's toughest, strongest firefighter - and it's all for a 2-year-old boy fighting cancer.

 

The Challenge for Dylan takes place at noon on Saturday, March 14 at TITLE Boxing Club in Pasadena. All funds raised from the afternoon event support Dylan Wolfe's alternative medication; he has been battling cancer for most of his young life. (Read Dylan's story).

 

The event is sponsored by Fire Family Foundation, the charitable hand of Firefighter's First Credit Union which has established a fund for Dylan.

 

Firefighters from around the Los Angeles area will go head-to-head in various competitions at the boxing bag and other strenuous activities. The public is also invited to participate in the challenge alongside firefighters to see how they stack up against the pros. All participants will also get an opportunity to take a one half-hour boxing class as well as receiving a commemorative t-shirt and lunch provided by Pasadena Firefighter's 809.

 

Tickets for participants are $30; $10 for spectators (includes lunch).
