The Central District is Seattle’s oldest surviving residential area. Every corner is marked with the footprints of cultural diversity. Every street is shaped by people busy with dreams, places to go and burdens to carry. This four square mile area, bordered to the East by Martin Luther King, Jr. Way, to the South by South Jackson Street, to the West by 12th Avenue and to the North by East Madison Street, contains some of the city’s oldest architecture. The neighborhood echoes with the sounds of civil unrest and civil rights achievement, Jazz and Hip Hop, and change.
Cappy’s Boxing Club is committed to adding to the colorful neighborhood mix by bringing boxing back to the CD. Amateur Boxing (Olympic Style boxing, with protective headgear and rigid safety regulations) involves boxers ages 8 and up who have trained hard to face their fears with skill and confidence. Boxing training and competition develops the strength and flexibility needed to achieve goals. They also build the endurance and mental focus needed to persevere in difficult times. This event will bring boxers, families, friends and neighbors together, connect businesses with their community, and promote the sport of boxing.
The 3rd Annual CENTRAL DISTRICT BOXING REVIVAL will be held October 6th 2012 at the Garfield Community Center. As hosted by Cappy’s Boxing Club, this event promises to be a fun evening of boxing skill, community celebration and much, much more! From the Central District and beyond, everyone is welcome to celebrate a revival of neighborly connection.
