Everyone has something they’re fighting for. Knockout for A Cause unites individuals, fighting for individual causes, but fighting as part of a team.
Knockout For A Cause is the North Shore’s first ever boxing fight night of its kind, featuring a wide range of contenders representing every industry. Coming together from a diverse set of backgrounds and experiences, contenders train for one reason: to support the community, and the causes near and dear to them.
Anyone living in North Vancouver/West Vancouver, or working in North Vancouver/West Vancouver, can apply to be a contender, and fundraise in Knockout For A Cause. Participants may apply to KFAC as an individual, or as a representative of their place of employment. If your industry/sector has their eye on a similar business you’d love to face off against in the ring, this is your opportunity to meet them there, in the spirit of [friendly] community competition.
KFAC welcomes participants who have no boxing experience [or basic, beginner-level boxing experience], and are ready to start the journey to step into the ring. Contenders need to be a minimum of 18 years of age.
To qualify for a fight, contenders are expected to raise a minimum of $2,000 for their designated cause, which can be selected from the list of participating organizations. Raising the minimum amount does not guarantee you a fight, rather makes you applicable for one. Fight match-ups are contingent on registered contenders, experience levels, training, and a variety of many other factors.
This is a high-intensity training process, and contenders commit to being in the gym, fundraising, and putting in the work. KFAC Contenders will have access to a custom membership rate for the duration of the training cycle. Contenders are expected to attend a minimum of three classes per week, in order to accomplish all of the respective Boxtech® Glove System Wrap levels, and related Boxtech® testing dates:
White Gloves® to Yellow Gloves®: 24 classes
Yellow Gloves® to Green Gloves®: 36 classes
Green Gloves® to Blue Gloves®: 48 classes
Knockout for a Cause gives contenders the opportunity to fight on behalf of the causes that mean the most to them. Choose your organization from the following list, all North or West Vancouver based charities and non-profit organizations.
North Shore Crisis Services Society
