2017 To Be Biggest Year Yet For Fight To End Cancer
Tickets to FTEC 2017 are selling out fast, in fact they’re already around 85% sold out!
Article By: Rebecca WeberThe Fight To End Cancer is not just one event, it is a year long – many would say lifelong – fundraising mission that is celebrated each year in a monumental way. On the night of the gala event, a group of white-collar working men and women, with no prior competitive boxing experience, fight it out on stage. This fully licensed, amateur boxing match, is to raise money and awareness for cancer research. The event is preceded by eight gruelling months of training and fundraising on the part of the fight team. There is also year long preparation by everyone involved in FTEC, which includes close to 200 volunteers and staff members!
