Summer is Here! Manchester ROCS All Summer!

Hard to believe it has been ! This has been a wonderful year full of growth. We have grown not just in numbers of members but in our circle of friends and neighbors. Our boxing team members have helped at the Manchester Road Race, we have hosted three boxing events as well as other events including the blessing of the ring and breakfast socials.

But, of course, our mission to change the lives of at risk youth in our community has been the heart of our growth. We have stopped a situation of brutal bullying, put a stop to an underage drinking party and saw our kids improve behavior and grades in school. Our kids have learned if they want to be part of this team they need to exemplify the values we stand for:

R-Respect/O-Order/C-Character/S-Service

As we move in to the summer months we would like to expand our hours. The idle hours of summer can be a temptation for many kids to stray into poor choices. We want to be there for them. We have expanded our space and our currently raising money for an additional ring for them.

The new ring is $5000. We have raised $2,500. Help us reach our goals! If you would like to find out how you can help contact me at 860-712-2616 or kathleenniccholas@cox.net
