Fighting for a change

The boxing club of Oskarshamn and the Mixed Martial Arts club LocXter MMA have joined forces with BRIS (Children's Rights in Society) and taken stand for all children and youths' right to a save upbringing. Several boxing galas have been arranged during the years in Oskarshamn and this time it will be joined by MMA (Mixed Martial Arts), which is a sport in the rise worldwide. Fighting for Change is not just only a sport event, it is also standpoint for the clubs for all children and youths' right to a save upbringing.

We have a very strong social direc¬tion in our activities and we work actively to support vulnerable and troubled children and youth. This commitment is found in the name of the gala "Fighting for Change", which symbolizes a will to make a positive change, says Kristoffer Malm, one of the organizers. We have decided to donate 10 % of our surplus to BRIS (Children's Rights in Society). BRIS will be present and take active part in a fundraising during the event.

The MMA and boxing gala Fighting for Change took place on 29 October in Oskarshamn and will hopefully become a yearly event.
