Soldiers of Honor and New Look Fitness will host the Safe Summer Block Party on Saturday in downtown Lima, offering free activities and resources for local families. Organizers say the event is designed to help children begin their summer on a positive note while connecting them with programs and opportunities in the community.
A longtime Lima boxer is giving back to the community through the sport that shaped his life.
Mayor Smith adds, “These key areas which is our housing and neighborhoods, growing our economy with support to small businesses and helping working families. Making government more responsive and maintaining safety services in our city.”
Soldiers of Honor is a non-profit boxing organization in Lima that invites people of all ages to join the ring. Their Super Saturday Boxing event showcases their members and gives the community a chance to see what goes on at the gym.
You may never have noticed the building at 117 S Union St. That doesn’t mean what’s going on inside isn’t important. It’s where New Look Fitness is
located and more importantly home to the Soldiers of Honor.
Saturday the group hosted a Super Saturday Boxing event. It’s an invite to people of all ages to come see what the "soldiers" are all about. It was founded by Aaron and Veronica McLaurine. It may look like just boxing, but they all come for different reasons.
Aaron McLaurine continues to use boxing to help the youth in the Lima community.
