Boxing clubs win state aid to boost youth program
Syracuse Boxing Club officials say a $40,000 state grant will fix the roof and reduce a $135,000 mortgage on the three story building at 386 N Midler Ave. The money to fund gear, exhibitions at Landmark Theatre and MacArthur Stadium aims to broaden outreach for at risk youth and support drug and alcohol counseling efforts. The club has operated since the 1920s with dozens of residents and businesses contributing supplies and labor totaling about $150,000.
