Fight for Charity 2023 – Julianna Chiappetta

Hello Everyone!

My name is Julianna, and I am participating in my very first boxing fight! I have been boxing since May, 2022 and fell in love with boxing ever since. Since starting boxing I have always wanted to compete in a fight, and what better way to start than by competing in a charity event ! Everyone’s donations will be used to support the Canadian Mental Health Association. Working closely in the mental health field, I am extremely thankful for everyone’s donations supporting this association and the community involved.

The 2023 Fight for Charity will be held at the RBC Convention Centre on the 29th of April and will feature:

- 12 novice boxing matches

- Casino gaming

- Live music

- Silent auction

- Raffles

- 50/50

We are proud to announce that the 2023 Fight for Charity event is in support of The Canadian Mental Health Association (CMHA).

The Canadian Mental Health Association has a vision for "A Manitoba where mental health is honored as a universal human right." CMHA serve everyone from youth to adults/seniors. Their programs help individuals and families to lead lives filled with meaning and promise. They are a champion for mental health and exist so that Manitobans are mentally healthy, have access to the resources they need to thrive and when a person experiences mental health distress or illness, they have timely access to support for their resilience and recovery.

Research shows that one in three individuals will experience a mental illness in their lifetime. Four in five will have family, friends or colleagues who experience a mental illness in their lifetime. Mental illness is very common and is too often downplayed because many people are uncomfortable talking about it. Everyone benefits from good mental health, perhaps now, or in the future, you, your friends or your family may benefit from CMHA's services. For more information on their services/support, please visit their website at https://mbwpg.cmha.ca/

We are so excited to be partnering with CMHA for the 2023 event, and our fundraising goal to raise for them is $50,000. Please help us get there by donating anything you can to this worthy cause and sharing this page. Every dollar counts!!

Thankful for all your support!
