A4K Boxing Gala at Hollyburn Country Club in West Vancouver

Apr 7, 2006

By Catherine Barr

 

It was time for boxing and bow ties last Friday night at Hollyburn Counry Club as the 4th annual A4K Boxing Gala took place. Guests were greeted with cocktails in the reception area, silent auction and a balloon raffle followed by a sumptuous steak dinner in the gym. The main event - five rounds of Olympic class boxing featuring young fighters from the Lower Mainland and beyond, each one of them taking home a much coveted A4K championship belt all while helping to raise money to assist underpriviledged kids in sports.
