Marco Island Moose Lodge #1990 took on a particularly festive tone at its recent fundraiser for the Marco Island Boxing Club.
The event raised about $2,000 for the nonprofit organization, which is dedicated to introducing youths to Olympic-Style boxing, while building character, self discipline, work ethic and other positive qualities.
Held at the lodge’s Marco Lake Drive headquarters, the fundraiser included a pig roast, hamburgers and hot dogs, side dishes and an auction.
“The Marco Island Moose Lodge has been very gracious,” said Rich Stoltenborg, the club’s coach and president. “They offered to do a fundraiser, put a barbeque together for me, and invited the public. It’s for the kids and they’re doing a wonderful thing.”
For more information on the fundraiser and the boxing club, please read the September 1 issue of the Coastal Breeze News.
The Marco Island Boxing club is located at 20 Marco Lake Drive, Unit 7. For more information, visit marcoislandboxingclub.com or facebook.com/MIBCBOXING or call Rich Stoltenborg at 201-694-2182.
