Saturday, July 18th the Augusta Boxing Academy will hold its first Food 2 Fight Hunger Fitness Challenge at Augusta Common, 836 Reynolds Street from 8am – 10pm, a canned food drive benefiting The Salvation Army of greater Augusta.

The Fitness Challenge events include competing in at least five of ten events: Army crawl, cone run, tire run, hula hoop, agility ladder run, push-ups, sit ups, tire drag, or sprint. To participate bring five canned food items or two packages of bottled water as the entry fee. Prizes will be awarded.

These donations are coming at a time of great need, as our food pantry is nearly empty. The summer months historically show a drop in donations and an increase in need; this year is no different. The food collected will benefit The Salvation Army’s soup kitchen and food pantry.
