ring of hope

My small group had the privilege of partnering with two other small groups as a part of NewPointe's Big Give to buy and build a boxing ring for a kids' boxing program in Coshocton. It's been an amazing thing to be a part of. Two Sundays ago we drove down to Coshocton to build the ring.

The Coshocton Tribune did a story on it. Here's an excerpt from the article:

COSHOCTON - Students of the Coshocton Boxing Club have always been full of heart, determination and will, but they have been lacking until now a key asset for success - a real boxing ring.

Members of the Newpointe Community Church in Dover donated time, labor and funds to construct a boxing ring for the club last weekend.

"It's amazing, no words can describe it," said club owner Dallas Brewer. "It's been our goal for two and a half years to get a USA-approved ring so we can hold our own events."
