24-Hour Boxathon: Fighting for Devon Mind & Memory Matters

24-Hour Boxathon: Fighting for Devon Mind & Memory Matters

24 hours. One team. Two incredible causes.


From 9am on Saturday 21 November until 9am on Sunday 22 November, members of Ocean City Boxing & Fitness Academy in Plymouth will take on a gruelling 24-Hour Boxathon, keeping the action going around the clock to raise money for two causes that make a real difference in our local community.


For 24 continuous hours, our team will step into the gym and push themselves through non-stop boxing sessions. It will be a serious test of endurance, determination and teamwork, but every round, every punch and every exhausted hour will be for a purpose much bigger than ourselves.


Who we’re supporting


Every penny raised will be split equally between Devon Mind and Memory Matters.


Devon Mind provides vital mental health support across Devon, helping people access support when they need it and working towards a community where nobody has to face a mental health problem alone.


Memory Matters supports people living with dementia and their families, providing essential services, information and compassionate support to help people navigate the challenges dementia can bring.


Both charities do invaluable work in our community, and we want to do our part to support them.


More than a Boxathon


Throughout the 24 hours, we’ll also be showcasing Ocean City Boxing & Fitness Academy, giving visitors the opportunity to see the gym, meet the team and find out more about the classes, training and opportunities the club has to offer.


We want the Boxathon to celebrate what a local boxing club can bring to its community. It’s about more than boxing and fitness. A good club can provide confidence, discipline, friendship, positive role models and a place where people can feel part of something.


Whether you’re an experienced boxer, looking to improve your fitness, interested in trying something new or have never put on a pair of gloves before, we’d love you to come down during the event, see what we do and discover what Ocean City Boxing & Fitness Academy can offer the Plymouth community.


How you can help


You can support us by sponsoring our fighters, donating through this page, sharing the fundraiser, or coming down to Ocean City Boxing Gym during the event to cheer the team on.


Whether it’s £5, £10 or more, every donation adds up and will help two brilliant local causes continue their work.


We know 24 hours is going to hurt. That’s the point. We’re choosing to push ourselves for one day to support people and families facing challenges that can last far longer.


Every punch thrown brings us closer to making a difference.


Come for the Boxathon. Support two brilliant causes. Discover the club.


Let’s hit back against mental ill health and dementia together.
