Applications are still open for Belles of the Brawl – Boston’s all-female charity boxing event. This is more than a fight—it’s a chance to step into the ring and raise life-saving funds for cancer research, care, awareness, and survivorship. Haymakers for Hope will match selected applicants with a local gym and coach to train for four months, culminating in a sanctioned amateur bout in front of a packed crowd at MGM Music Hall this October. No prior boxing experience required—just a commitment to making a difference. Join the hundreds of women who’ve laced up their gloves and helped raise millions to KO cancer. Apply now: (fb)

Take it from 2019 Belles alum and current H4H Event Coordinator @katiestepansky: “You’re gonna give yourself a million reasons why you shouldn’t do it, but that one reason—the WHY of even signing up in the first place—is gonna be the reason why you click submit.” Katie was always an athlete, excelling in every sport she tried. Post-college, she was ready for her next challenge—but this time, with a brand-new sport: boxing. To Katie, boxing is a sport like no other. It’s just you in that ring. It’s both physical and mental toughness. And now, it’s a sport she’s fallen in love with. Competing in Belles of the Brawl VII in 2019 marked her first amateur bout and opened the door to her many other goals within boxing. She has now gone on to win the Golden Gloves and trains others to learn the sport that changed her life 🥊💜. Now working for Haymakers, she’s constantly surrounded by her love of boxing and encourages you all to do the same. Boston ladies, it’s your turn! Belles of the Brawl XII is on October 9th, and signups are happening now! Take a leap of faith like Katie did and try a sport that will challenge you to be the best you can be and to unlock your unlimited potential 🥊 If you’re thinking about signing up, let that ONE REASON be your why to click the submit button and do it.
