About Fighting For Futures:

The Evergreen Children’s Foundation is hosting its annual charity boxing event with Chicago’s top business professionals on Thursday, June 20, at the iconic Old Post Office. Join us as they step into the ring to raise money for local youth, families, and the organizations striving to build a better future for the next generation. 

The evening will include championship amateur boxing, an open bar, dinner, silent auction and live entertainment. All proceeds from the event will go towards benefiting our 2024 grant recipients: Communities in Schools of Chicago, Grace Network, Put Me In!, and the What’s Your Forté Foundation.
