Event summary
A full-day community boxing show benefiting Guns Down Gloves Up Indy. Amateur fights 12–4 PM, pro fights 4–8 PM. Sponsorships, VIP and general admission tickets, food trucks, and food tables all fuel our mentorship and conflict-resolution programming.
Our mission
Our goal is to reduce gun violence by providing youth and adults with a safe, disciplined, and supervised boxing environment where anger, aggression, and conflicts can be redirected into self-control, accountability, and personal growth — building safer, stronger communities where disputes are resolved through discipline, respect, and skill rather than retaliation or weapons.
Fundraising Goal
$20,000
