The Athletics for Kids (A4K) annual boxing gala was held last week at West Vancouver’s Hollyburn Country Club. Helping raise money for kids who cannot always afford to play sports, the association’s annual event is a glamorous affair complete with Las Vegas theme, sit-down dinner, auction items and live sanctioned boxing bouts. Famous sports names, glamorous showgirls and some knock ’em sock ’em action are all part of the fun. Congrats to all involved who are putting up a fight for kids that want to get in the game, no matter what the cost.
