"The facility is bustling, the classes are plentiful & creative, and, importantly, the social vibe is back. Thus, to help more boxers join the PEWC, I felt now was the right time to step up my giving. I encourage others to do the same." - Kent Gasaway

The 2022 PEWC Spring Fund Drive is live! Donate at https://t.co/MQAcMlYyci

One of our boxers, Kent Gasaway, has offered to match up to $15,000 in donations made to the PEWC in the month of April. Donations to the PEWC are tax deductible. #ParkinsonsAwarenessMonth

Kent and his wife, Rhonda, have provided significant, and often silent, funding to the PEWC, including much of the seed capital needed to establish the PEWC. Kent has also helped us to form relationships with major donors, which has contributed greatly to our annual fundraising.
