London, Ont. boxing tournament fundraiser collected $300K for Y.O.U., organizers say - London | Globalnews.ca

Lucier says the plan is for Fight to End to be an annual event, and work is already in the very early stages for this year’s tournament, set to be held in November. Those looking to participate will be able to apply starting in May.

“When Adam and I started Fight to End, it grew from a small seed to what it is now, and it’s really expanded to incorporate the business community within London, and you’ll see a lot of larger name builders and developers that are involved in this event,” he said. “One of our major sponsors this year was Drewlo Holdings, and they came through at a major level for us and were a huge part of our last event.”

In a statement, Jerry Drennan, chief operating officer of Drewlo, said the developer, and others in the city, “understand there’s a need and we want to do our part.” “Partnering with Fight to End, and seeing our own Carrie O’Brien in the ring, was a great way to continue to give back and support the mission of Joan’s Place.”Corus Entertainment, parent company of Global News, was also a sponsor through FM96, with Brad Gibb, the station’s longtime program director and on-air voice, going head-to-head against A.J. O’Connor of Lynn’s Bakery and Deli.“There’s only winners, because it’s all going to Youth Opportunities Unlimited.
