Chattanooga Set to Host Thrilling 15th Annual Guns and Hoses Boxing Match for Charity!

Chattanooga Gears Up for the 15th Annual Guns and Hoses Event!

Hey there, Chattanooga! Are you ready to rumble? It’s that time of year again when our fearless Police Officers square off against our brave Firefighters in the much-anticipated 15th Annual Chattanooga Guns and Hoses boxing match! Mark your calendars for November 1 because you won’t want to miss this exciting event that showcases a friendly rivalry while supporting some fantastic local causes.

Get Ready to Cheer!

Today, we had the pleasure of chatting with Robert Baty and Battalion Chief Carlos Hampton, who shared their enthusiasm for the upcoming match. The energy in the air is palpable as both sides train hard to prepare for this showdown. It’s not just about throwing punches; it’s an event that brings the community together for a good cause, while also adding a touch of friendly competition.

Why Guns and Hoses?

You might wonder, why boxing? According to Robert and Carlos, this annual face-off is about more than proving who’s the best in the ring; it’s about building bonds between our local heroes and the community they serve. The event fosters camaraderie between the Chattanooga Police Department and the Chattanooga Fire Department, proving that even in competition, there’s always room for teamwork and respect.

A Worthy Cause

One of the best parts about this exciting event is that 100% of the proceeds remain local! That’s right: every dollar raised will go to two incredibly worthwhile organizations—the Forgotten Child Fund and the YMCA YCAP Program. Both of these charities serve the children in our community, ensuring they have the support and resources they need to thrive.

The Forgotten Child Fund is dedicated to providing Christmas gifts and essential items for children in need throughout Hamilton County. Meanwhile, the YMCA YCAP Program offers engaging after-school activities, helping kids develop not just physically but also emotionally and socially. What better way to help our community than by watching our local heroes duke it out in the ring?

Event Details

The excitement isn’t just in the ring but also in the atmosphere surrounding the event! You can expect a lively crowd filled with families, friends, and fans rooting for their favorite officers and firefighters. Plus, there will be plenty of food, drinks, and entertainment to keep spirits high as you watch the matches unfold.

If you’re planning to attend, don’t forget to bring your loudest cheers and maybe even a few friendly banners for your favorite fighters! Whether you’re a lifelong fan of the event or new to the scene, it’s a fantastic way to foster community spirit and show support for those who protect and serve.
