Chattanooga, Tenn. — Are you ready to rumble?! It’s that time of year again when friendly rivalry turns into an exciting showdown at the 15th Annual Chattanooga Guns and Hoses. This beloved local event is more than just about boxing; it is about coming together as a community for a fantastic cause. Mark your calendars for November 1 because you won’t want to miss this showdown!
A Fun Tradition in the Community
This event sees our local heroes, the Police Officers going up against the brave Firefighters in a series of boxing matches. It started as a fun way to give back, and it has become a cherished tradition in our city. People of all ages look forward to watching their favorite public servants trade in their uniforms for boxing gloves and good-natured competition!
Meet Our Champions
Recently, we had the pleasure of chatting with some of the dynamic leaders involved in this year’s event. Robert Baty, Lieutenant Cecil Harvey, and Battalion Chief Carlos Hampton were all smiles as they shared their excitement about this year’s event. “It’s all about supporting the community,” said Lieutenant Harvey, “and having a great time while doing it!” Their passion for this cause is infectious, and it’s clear that they consider this event an honor.
Why This Event Matters
The phenomenal part about the Chattanooga Guns and Hoses event is that **100% of the proceeds** stay local, benefiting two remarkable organizations: the Forgotten Child Fund and the YMCA YCAP Program. The Forgotten Child Fund provides Christmas gifts to underprivileged children in the community, ensuring that no child is left out during the holidays. Meanwhile, the YMCA YCAP Program focuses on youth development, emphasizing healthy living and social responsibility.
“We want to make a real difference in our community,” explained Battalion Chief Hampton. “Every ticket, every dollar raised goes back to kids and programs that need it the most.” It’s heartwarming to see our local heroes not only serving us daily but also dedicating their time and energy to uplift those around them.
