A local nonprofit hosted an open house Saturday morning to discuss how boxing keeps children off the streets.
“I’ve already seen so much increase,” said Moore. “First day I was sparring Josh, got my butt whooped. A month down the road, I’m over there, competing with him and he’s been doing it like 5 years. So, he takes it easy on me and we do pretty good sparring.”He also boxed to stay out of trouble and has made it his mission to keep other young men and women safe in the Port City.
Now, Hope Academy wants to help even more children. Saturday, the organization hosted an open house where parents could learn more about the benefits of joining. Aside from boxing training, children who participate also receive tutoring and mentoring. Among those at the open house was Mobile Police Chief Paul Prine, Youth Violence Prevention Coordinator Joshua Jones and a representative from Big Brothers Big Sisters of South Alabama.
