Step into the Ring to Fight Cancer: Haymakers for Hope Miami Fundraiser

Sponsored By

March 6, 2025 @ 7:30 pm - 10:30 pm

South Florida residents can now join the fight against cancer – literally! Haymakers for Hope, a nonprofit organization dedicated to raising money and awareness for cancer research, is hosting its first charitable boxing event in Miami and they’re looking for participants to join to knock out cancer.

Anyone can sign up, no prior boxing experience required. To apply, visit haymakersforhope.org.

Funds raised go to benefit the University of Miami’s Sylvester Comprehensive Cancer Center as well as various other cancer charities handpicked by the participating boxers.

Haymakers takes normal, everyday people and provides a once-in-a-lifetime, life transforming opportunity to fulfill a desire to see what they can do in the ring.

First time amateur boxers are matched with opponents of similar size, age, weight and skill level, and undergo an immersive, four-month training program with experienced trainers.

The journey culminates in an electrifying gala event on March 6, 2025 at the Fillmore Miami Beach, where participants have their first official amateur USA Boxing match in front of nearly 2,000 supporters. All donations raised go towards the fight against cancer.

BIOGRAPHY

Drew Limsky joined Lifestyle Media Group in August 2020 as Editor-in-Chief of South Florida Business & Wealth. His first issue of SFBW, October 2020, heralded a reimagined structure, with new content categories and a slew of fresh visual themes. “As sort of a cross between Forbes and Robb Report, with a dash of GQ and Vogue,” Limsky says, “SFBW reflects South Florida’s increasingly sophisticated and dynamic business and cultural landscape.”

Limsky, an avid traveler, swimmer and film buff who holds a law degree and Ph.D. from New York University, likes to say, “I’m a doctor, but I can’t operate—except on your brand.” He wrote his dissertation on the nonfiction work of Joan Didion. Prior to that, Limsky received his B.A. in English, summa cum laude, from Emory University and earned his M.A. in literature at American University in connection with a Masters Scholar Award fellowship.

Limsky came to SFBW at the apex of a storied career in journalism and publishing that includes six previous lead editorial roles, including for some of the world’s best-known brands. He served as global editor-in-chief of Lexus magazine, founding editor-in-chief of custom lifestyle magazines for Cadillac and Holland America Line, and was the founding editor-in-chief of Modern Luxury Interiors South Florida. He also was the executive editor for B2B magazines for Acura and Honda Financial Services, and he served as travel editor for Conde Nast. Magazines under Limsky’s editorship have garnered more than 75 industry awards.

He has also written for many of the country’s top newspapers and magazines, including The New York Times, Washington Post, Los Angeles Times, Miami Herald, Boston Globe, USA Today, Worth, Robb Report, Afar, Time Out New York, National Geographic Traveler, Men’s Journal, Ritz-Carlton, Elite Traveler, Florida Design, Metropolis and Architectural Digest Mexico. His other clients have included Four Seasons, Acqualina Resort & Residences, Yahoo!, American Airlines, Wynn, Douglas Elliman and Corcoran. As an adjunct assistant professor, Limsky has taught journalism, film and creative writing at the City University of New York, Pace University, American University and other colleges.
