This year the $100,000 grant award went to Downtown Boxing Gym for their partnership program with Beyond Basics to establish solid reading skills in students. “Books Before Boxing” is DBG’s motto and they have tremendous results — in the first year, their students see an improvement, on average, of at least one letter grade. Most have at least a 3.0 GPA. The ability to read is fundamental to opening doors of opportunity and an enriched life.
