About Us

The Bob Lynch Boxing Foundation was founded in 2014 as a 501(c)(3) nonprofit supporting amateur boxing in Madison, Wisconsin and surrounding areas. We achieve this by:

  • Hosting the annual Wisconsin Golden Gloves state tournament as the recognized franchise of Wisconsin Golden Gloves.
  • Providing many of the following to youth displaying a need, desire, and proper motivation:
    • Gym memberships
    • Boxing lessons
    • USA Boxing annual memberships
    • Necessary boxing gear
    • Educational scholarships
  • Funding travel, lodging, food, and related fees to send boxers and coaches to regional and national tournaments.
  • Collaborating with other 501(c)(3) organizations with similar missions.

Our mission

To use the sport of amateur boxing as an athletic outlet for young people to find self-respect, self-discipline, perseverance, and to encourage healthy lifestyle choices.

We have seen time and again how boxing has helped kids who are struggling to find their identities, and many who may otherwise have been lost to the streets. Through amateur boxing programs like ours, young adults have the opportunity to build critical life skills. They learn to make healthy life choices and learn to stand by those choices, not because they should, but because they want to.

Our club

Boxing activities for the Bob Lynch Boxing Foundation take place at Ford’s Gym in Madison. If you are interested in taking a class, sparring, or competing, check out the Ford’s Gym boxing webpage.
