Community Corner
Boxing In The Park
30 Laurel area teens and adults will face off in a boxing ring for “Boxing In The Park” event to highlight youth activities, sportsmanship and
community engagement on Saturday Oct. 12 at the Alice B. McCullough Field.
The Laurel Boys and
Girls Club will partner with community boxing gym Crawford Training and Fitness (CTF) to sponsor the event; it will
feature 15 amateur-boxing matches sanctioned by USA Boxing’s Potomac Valley
Association.
“Boxing In The Park” seeks to promote youth activities in
the Laurel region and encourage health and fitness within the community. During
the day’s activities, CTF will launch its Laurel-based nonprofit, Survival
Fitness, that will further promote wellness through affordable access to
world-class fitness training.
The event is free and open to the public and will be held
Saturday, Oct. 12 at 3 p.m. in the Alice
B. McCullough Field and Sturgis-Moore Recreation Area Park at 8th Street
