Sarah "Shark Attack" Khoo hasn't added a story.
Hello everyone, my name is Sarah "Shark Attack" Khoo. I am representing OpenRoad Toyota Port Moody in participating in Aprons for Gloves Restaurant Rumble 2016. My goal is to raise $2000 in order to compete in Restaurant Rumble 2016. All your generous contribution and donation will benefit the child and youth program at Eastside Boxing Club, where mentorship, free afterschool training, and snacks will be provided to children and youth of Downtown Eastside.
Last year, I was chosen as an alternate at Aprons for Gloves Restaurant Rumble, and competed in the grand opening for Eastside Boxing Club. This year, I am training to fight again and hoping to bring home the title belt.
All your donations and contributions, whether they are big or small, will be very much appreciated and benefit many children and youth in Downtown Eastside. Please DONATE and SHARE on your social media. Come chat with me, and I would love to share my boxing journey and a picture of me with a black eye with all of you.
This SHARK is ready to ATTACK again!
Founded in 2012, Aprons for Gloves Boxing Association is a non-profit organization focused on providing community outreach through the sport of boxing. Based in Vancouver’s Downtown Eastside, the organization was developed by a small group of professionals and entrepreneurs who seized an opportunity to re-establish a historic boxing program for at-risk women and youth. The program offers free mentorship and training to individuals who may otherwise not have the resources or support to participate in such activities. The sport of boxing teaches discipline, respect, hard work and self-control. Training results in positive self-esteem, good health and camaraderie for its practitioners.
Restaurant Rumble 2016
Every year bartenders, chefs, dishwaters, servers, baristas and all sorts of individuals from the Gastown community get together to train at the Eastside Boxing Club to fight in Restaurant Rumble.
In order to attend training, each fighter is required to raise $2000 for charity before they can compete at the Rumble.
