What an incredible evening continuing the celebration in the heart of downtown Hayward.
Following the city’s 150th birthday festivities, we gathered at one of the newest restaurants in Hayward, Storybook, for the Beyond the Ring fundraiser and Osorio Training Center Coach Recognition outing — and the energy in the room said it all. Community, purpose, and celebration came together as we raised support to keep providing FREE and low-cost boxing programs for our local youth and young adults.
One of the highlights of the night was recognizing our amazing coaches whose dedication, mentorship, and hard work create a safe space where young people can learn discipline, build confidence, and grow both inside and outside the ring. We are grateful to partner with local businesses like Storybook that believe in investing back into our community. A portion of sales made on the back patio went to BTR. Thank you for your generosity, Storybook!
A big shout-out to our local councilwomen Angela Andrews and Julie Roche and councilman Francisco Zermeno, Alameda County Sheriff ’s Office, Alameda County Board of Supervisor Elisa Marquez, Hayward Rotarians, and many other community leaders who joined us. We know how busy your schedules are, and we are truly honored that you spent time with us and continue supporting opportunities for our youth.
The momentum continues. Stay tuned as we head to the Oakland Roots home opener benefiting BTR, and as we keep promoting submissions for the Best Credible Message Contest in partnership with the Alameda County Probation Department (see our previous post for details).
If you know a child or young adult who could benefit from a positive, supportive space to learn, grow, and stay active, please send them our way.
