The South Side Spartans Boxing Gym is asking the public for donations to help complete construction in their new space.
The boxing gym is in the process of renovating a new space on Market St. They are hoping to officially open the new space on April 1, 2018 but are still $6,000 short of what they need to complete the project. They are hoping to get the public's support so that they can provide more services to their youth.
"Here we want to do something better," says Lonnie Rettig, head coach for the South Side Spartans. "We want to educate them on nutrition, we want to show them how to fix meals, we want to do some of those things. And on top of that, get them in here and get them in here and get them some tutoring because a lot these kids are in the gym, get them in here and get them some tutoring because a lot of these kids are in the gym, they're looking for some other things to do so we want to help supplement that too."
South Side Spartans Boxing Gym is a nonprofit and all donations are tax deductible. Anyone interested in helping out can contact Rettig at 419-234-0120.
