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

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.
