The men and women of law enforcement, fire and rescue, as well as many other first responders, enter the ring once again to battle it out all in the name of charity. This is a night you won’t want to miss! Battle of the Badges 2011.
The men and women of law enforcement, fire protection and other public safety agencies put down their shields and badges, lace up their gloves and enter the ring in support of not only Cops 4 Kids & Communities and other local charitable organizations, but to honor the many fallen heroes and their families.
Cops 4 Kids & Communities, is a non-profit organization founded by members of law enforcement that assists and encourages children and teens through mentoring, educational, sports, arts programs, field trips, football camps, martial arts, “School of Rock” and more. The organization also has their own C4KC Youth Boxing Club.
As you can imagine, nonprofits and schools are facing a fundraising crisis right now. This event allows us the opportunity to provide low cost entertainment for the whole family, but also the opportunity to raise money for our youth programs without asking for a direct donation during these economic times and financial uncertainty. The prestigious Pechanga Resort & Casino will once again host this year’s Fifteenth annual Battle of the Badges at their impressive Grand Ballroom boxing venue. This event will take place on Saturday, October 1st with doors opening at 4:00 pm and the first bout starting at 5:00 pm.
This charity amateur boxing event promises to be a knockout as the “loaded guns and firepower” inside the ropes meet toe-to-toe all in the name of charity. Twenty-eight policemen, firefighters, Correctional Officers, “ICE” U.S. Immigration officers and more will make this an evening you won’t want to miss.
“Every year this event pulls our community together for this exciting competition and for these worthwhile charities,” said Jeff Penn, Executive Director for Cops 4 Kids & Communities. “Everyone gets to enjoy the sportsmanship, camaraderie and the energy this event brings to table. I look forward to continuing this event for many years to come at this incredible casino.”For full fight card and more details about this event, CLICK HERE

This will mark Williams’ second fight in his hometown and is ready to impress his fans. He made his pro debut in Philadelphia in May of 2010 when he stopped Antonio Chaves Fernandez, of Brockton, MA, in the first round of the scheduled four-round bout.
Williams has boxed in five different states but he is looking forward to fighting at home again. He is confident with testing himself at any level.
A pro less than two years, Williams is 7-0-1, 4 K0s, and already he has boxed four times in 2011. He has faced every type of opponent from 72-fight journeyman Marteze Logan, of Covington, TN, to up-and-coming prospect Francisco Santana, of Santa Barbara, CA.
Medina (5-6-1, 1K0) recently fought a six-round draw with Williams’ gym-mate (Shuler’s gym) Jamaal Davis, of Philadelphia, PA, on July 15 at Bally’s Atlantic City.
Medina also faced junior middleweight prospect Glen Tapia, of Passaic, NJ, earlier this year. He also lost by decision to The New Ray Robinson, in 2008 in the same ring. Williams will be Medina’s seventh fight against an undefeated prospect.
Other six-round matches feature undefeated junior middleweights DeCarlo Perez (5-0, 1K0), of Atlantic City, NJ, against Grayson Blake (3-0, 1K0), of State College, PA, as well as light-heavyweights Charles Hayward (7-2, 3K0s), of Philadelphia, PA, and George Armenta (13-7, 11K0s), of Silver Spring, MD.
Four four-round bouts complete the card.
Tickets priced at $40 and $50 are on sale Bam Boxing Promotions (215-280-6709) and online at www.bamonboxing.com.
