The purpose of an event in Osborn this weekend is to help knock out childhood cancer.
Osborn City Clerk Jody Barlow said gates open for the Fight for the Fearless event at 5 p.m. and fights start at 7:30 p.m. on Saturday at the Osborn City Park.
“It’s a free will donation at the gate… At the event you’ll get to see live, professional boxers spar as well as some amateur fighters,” Barlow said. “Some of the professional fighters will be paired with local celebrities to get it on and help knock out childhood cancer.”
Proceeds from the event go to the Rose Lowenstein Foundation. The mission of the Foundation is to raise awareness of childhood cancer and to assist deserving area families affected by childhood cancer. A portion of the proceeds will also go to the Taylor Finley Memorial scholarship and an Osborn family who has a child battling cancer.
