Fight for Charity – Shane Nobiss

Hey Family, Friends, Colleagues, Co-Workers and all other Wonderful People in my Life! I will be participating in the 2nd Annual Fight for Charity Boxing Event. As most of you know, my lovely wife participated last year and I can't let her one up me (LOL)! I have been engaged in training for the past 6 weeks and my goal is to 'float like a butterfly and sting like a bee' come fight night. I would love for you to help me in supporting a great cause by making a donation in my name. Every dollar counts and no amount is too small. Tickets to the big night are also available, so come watch and enjoy an evening of great fun and awesome entertainment.

This awesome event will feature:

- 10 novice boxing matches

- Casino gaming

- Silent auction

- Raffles

- 50/50

This year the Fight for charity is in support of Pan Am Place.

Pan Am Place offers a transitional housing program for at-risk youth aged 18-29 who are experiencing, or at-risk of, homelessness. The program offers a supportive environment where youth learn about responsibility, community and discipline. Residents have more in common than just a troubled past, they share a desire to make lasting, positive change in their lives, and Pan Am Place helps them do it.

Many people living on the streets of Winnipeg first experienced homelessness as young adults. Some of them were raised around family conflict, in a group home environment, or in the foster care system. Others have spent time in jail, have suffered debilitating injuries, or struggle with mental health issues, but they all come from an unstable environment, and often haven’t been taught the social skills required for independent living. By helping, supporting, and providing housing to young people that need direction and assistance, we can break the cycle of homelessness before it takes hold of their lives.

Residents typically come from:

- Aging out of Child Family Services

- Federal, provincial or youth jail

- Homeless shelters

- Living on the street

- Escaping an unhealthy home

- Looking to move to the city from the reserve (often due to unhealthy home life)

I have a target of $2,000 personally for the event, so please donate and help me achieve this target.
