DEDHAM, Mass. — Fighting cancer with boxing gloves and big hearts — that’s the mission behind Haymakers for Hope, which has been raising funds and awareness in Boston for 15 years.
The nonprofit is back for its 15th Annual Rock-N-Rumble charity boxing event, bringing together amateur fighters and supporters to raise money for cancer research and patient care.
Boston 25 News spoke with Julie Kelly and Andrew Myerson, co-founders of Haymakers for Hope, about the organization’s impact and what makes this year’s event special.
The event pairs everyday people with professional trainers, giving them months to prepare for a sanctioned boxing match — all while fundraising for cancer-related charities. Since its founding, Haymakers for Hope has raised millions of dollars to support cancer research and treatment programs.
