Cincinnati Golden Gloves & PAL

We are a non-profit organization that builds character and self-esteem through programs designed specifically for the benefit of youth. The organization holds local boxing shows and sends boxers to other cities and all major tournaments. During the past eight years our boxers have won over 60 championships and some became Olympians. We are just as proud of the young men who have not won any titles but have gone on to live productive lives. Golden Gloves

Since 1923 Golden Gloves has provided an opportunity for young athletes to develop lifetime skills through hard work, discipline, sportsmanship, self-respect and pride. The Golden Gloves program has led the way in promoting amateur boxing in the United States and has produced the majority of competitors for America's boxing teams in the Pan-Am and Olympic Games. Police Athletic League (PAL)

PAL is based on the belief that children, if reached early enough, can develop a strong, positive attitude toward police officers. PAL is a recreation oriented juvenile crime prevention program that relies heavily on athletics to tighten the bond between police officers and the kids in the community. USA Boxing
