Boxing as Second Family in Spokane
Description
For over 15 years, Rick Welliver has turned his Spokane Boxing Gym into a beacon of hope, hosting free amateur boxing events that give underserved youth a powerful outlet for growth, confidence, and community. With no travel barriers and zero cost to compete, these Saturday shows—drawn from across the Northwest and even Canada—offer kids a second family, a platform to shine, and a chance to discover their strength. Welliver, who knows the ropes from his own past, donates the gym space and keeps all proceeds reinvested into the program, proving that boxing isn’t just sport—it’s salvation.
