🥊 Introducing UTF X Athlete: Joseph Vandeven

Fighting for: Project Safeguard

Boxing out of: Empower Boxing

Joseph chose to support Project Safeguard because he cares deeply about helping survivors of domestic violence and their families find safety and support. Funds raised will directly support Project Safeguard’s work providing safety planning, legal advocacy, and resources for survivors.

A hard truth is that 1 in 4 women and 1 in 10 men in the U.S. experience some form of intimate partner violence in their lifetime. Project Safeguard works to support survivors as they navigate unsafe situations and take steps toward safety, healing, and rebuilding their lives.

Joseph is fighting so survivors have access to the care, resources, and support they need to move toward independence and healing.

Be sure to stop by the Project Safeguard table at UTF X! Say hello 👋, learn more about their work, or connect with available resources.

🥊 Introducing UTF X Athlete: Jenny Verhasselt

Fighting for: Old Dogs New Digs

Boxing out of: Boxing with Love

Jenny chose to support Old Dogs New Digs because all the dogs she's adopted have been adult/senior and she wants to make sure senior animals find the loving homes they deserve. Contributions to her fundraising will provide care and resources for older dogs and cats who are waiting for their forever families.

Did you know that nearly 25% of dogs in shelters are considered “senior” and often face longer stays or are overlooked for adoption? Old Dogs New Digs rescues and rehomes senior dogs and cats, giving them a second chance at life.

Jenny is fighting so that senior pets receive the love, care, and homes they deserve. Plus they are just the best! ❤️🐕

Fighting for: Disabled American Veterans (DAV)

Boxing out of: Boxing with Love

Edward is stepping into the ring to support Disabled American Veterans because he knows firsthand how tough the transition from service to civilian life can be.

The DAV helps more than 1 million veterans each year access benefits, medical support, and the resources they’ve earned.

Edward is fighting to give back to the community that shaped him and help ensure disabled heroes receive the care, respect, and support they deserve — and a generous benefactor will match every donation up to $1,500.
