Why Spokane Boxing is "More Than a Gym"
Serving Communities - Providing Hope
Serving Spokane, WA Since 2002
Hope for the Struggling
Spokane Boxing is now partnering with the Spokane Police Department to serve at risk youth in the Police Athletic League. Kids get to learn discipline, character, boxing skills, and get a great workout to help them deal with whatever they may be going through.
Boxing isn't just a sport. It's not just fitness. For many, boxing is a pathway to hope.
Rick Welliver has a huge heart to help needy kids through a sport that helped him so much growing up. Watch the video below to see what his coaching has done for just a small sample of the Spokane community.
Everyday Heroes
Rick's community service has attracted the attention of local media time and again as people love to hear how lives have been changed through boxing.
KXLY 4 in Spokane featured Rick in their segment "Everyday Heroes," highlighting how boxing turned around the lives of several young adults in Spokane (watch below):
Northwest Profiles
Spokane's Public television station, KSPS, featured Rick's contribution to the community in one of their "Northwest Profiles" segments. This video tells how Rick has helped kids struggling with substance abuse kick addictions by allowing them to attend meetings in exchange for gym dues (watch below):
To date, Rick has worked with over 200 needy, at-risk kids in the Spokane Community!
Serving Silver Valley, ID Since 2014
Moving Beyond Spokane
Rick has always loved the Silver Valley of Northern Idaho. In 2014, he brought boxing back to the Silver Valley in a big way. He has worked with over 25 kids in the Wallace and Kellogg area to date. (watch below)
What's Next?
What you've seen is only the beginning. So much more could be done to serve Spokane, WA, and Silver Valley, ID and surrounding communities.
