U.S. AMATEUR BOXING FOUNDATION’S
2024 IMPACT REPORT
Dear USA BOXING Community,
On behalf of the Team from USA Boxing, I’d like to express my gratitude to the donors and Board of the USA Boxing Foundation. We’ve had an amazing year in our work with expanding our grants to gyms, supporting our athletes at all levels, and of course, the Olympic Games.
Through the support of the Foundation, we were able to send the families of all of our competitors to Paris to support their athlete. Those funds were provided to us from the Foundation and made a lasting impact. Grants from the Foundation also support scholarships to boxers attending both college and trade schools, and increase our efforts to elevate the training of our coaches and provide even more support to our member gyms.
To all of you who supported the Foundation in 2024, thank you. As we turn our gaze to 2025, we’ll look forward to every opportunity to work together again in support of OUR sport.
With gratitude,
Mike McAtee
USA Boxing Executive Director

TESTIMONIALS
-
Michael Campbell, Senior Manager of Operations, USA Boxing
“The Grants for Gyms program, supported by the USA Boxing Foundation enabled USA Boxing to provide direct support to the grassroots boxing programs of America. These boxing clubs affect lives every day by providing safe havens for youth to receive mentorship from Coaches who have had these life lessons and principles instilled in them by Legacy members of the sport.
Unfortunately, far too often these programs struggle to keep the doors open within their communities, so this initiative enables them to bridge those gaps with much needed training equipment and a direct infusion of dollars that will help those who are less fortunate to maintain membership and travel for competition. “

"I have heard it said, you don’t find boxing—boxing finds you. That was true for me as I walked up the stairs of a Chicago boxing gym. My big dream was to fight in the city’s Golden Gloves, which USA Boxing administers. I ultimately won my weight class in the masters division twice. Boxing was now in my blood.
Supporting the USA Boxing Foundation means backing the most decorated Olympic boxing team of all time, our rising stars with gold medal dreams, and those whose lives are transformed by boxing—whether or not they ever reach the podium. Supporting USABF supports boxing. It supports our country. It supports our communities. It supports hope."
