Twelve years ago, our organization made a bold decision to lease our current facility, a move that has enabled us to grow and thrive. Throughout our thirteen-year history, we have navigated numerous challenges, including a prolonged shutdown during the pandemic. Despite these obstacles, we have consistently received generous support from our community, which has enabled us to continue providing our services. The contributions of our volunteers have also been invaluable, and we are grateful for their dedication. Although our program faced an uncertain future, renewed support has given us a second chance. To ensure our continued operation, we must reach our goal of funding an entire year. Our GoFundMe campaign is still active, and we urgently need donations. We appreciate the support we have received so far and invite you to consider making a donation to help our free youth mentoring program continue to flourish. Please use the link below to contribute:

At Never Down For The Count Youth Services, we live our motto: *Champions in the Ring, Champions in Life*

Using the discipline, structure, and heart of our USA amateur boxing program Cadillac Boxing Club, we work with middle and high school boys to build more than just physical strength. In the gym, they learn to take a hit and get back up, to respect their coaches and opponents, to control their emotions under pressure, and to commit to something bigger than themselves. Those same lessons become the foundation they stand on outside the ring.

We teach accountability through training schedules, resilience through conditioning, focus through technique, and respect through the code of the sport. Step by step, round by round, we help young men develop the grit, self-control, and confidence they need to handle school, work, family, and whatever life throws at them. Our goal isn't to make every boy a boxer. It's to use boxing to help every boy become a man with a solid foundation, ready to achieve success and stay *Never Down For The Count*

Since our founding in 2013, our program has always been free thanks primarily to donations and community support of local fundraisers. Our GoFundMe campaign continues as we seek to raise the funds to cover our budget for 2026. Your support is needed and appreciated, use the link below if you would like to add your support today.

Sponsor a Champion: Cadillac Boxing Club Wall Banner Program

Founded 2013 • Free Youth Mentoring Through USA Amateur Boxing

What We Do

For over a decade, Cadillac Boxing Club has provided free youth mentoring using USA amateur boxing as the foundation. We don’t just teach jabs and footwork. Our athletes learn:
• Mental discipline – Stay calm under pressure
• Emotional control – Channel frustration into focus
• Critical thinking – Make smart decisions when it counts
• Accountability – Show up, work hard, respect others
These are life skills that create successful adults and stronger communities.

The Sponsorship Opportunity: Your Brand in the Ring

We’re offering premium wall space in our gym to local businesses who want to invest in Cadillac’s youth. As a sponsor, you get:

Visibility Package

• Gym Banner: Your business name/logo displayed on our training floor wall
• Live Stream Exposure: Banners visible during our live-streamed sparring nights and events
• Social Media Features: Your business highlighted multiple times weekly across Facebook, Instagram, and Threads — we post training clips, athlete spotlights, and event recaps to an engaged local audience
• Community Goodwill: Directly tied to a free program that keeps kids active, mentored, and off the streets

100% of sponsorship funds go back into the program – equipment, travel for competitions, facility costs, and keeping it free for every kid who walks through our doors.

Why It Matters

Every banner on our wall represents a business that believes Cadillac’s kids deserve a fighting chance. Your sponsorship isn’t just advertising. It’s an investment in the next generation of leaders, workers, and neighbors.

Let’s Talk

Interested in claiming wall space and joining our corner? We’d love to show you the gym and talk about sponsorship levels. Message us here or Coach Dana at 231-884-7776
