HUTCHINSON, Kan. — Fight the Stigma is holding a Rumble in the Ring event with the Reno County Boxing Academy Saturday.
"It is at Memorial Hall, 101 South Walnut," said Jaime Garcia with Fight the Stigma. "Doors open at 4 p.m. The show will start at 5 p.m. We have Sheriff Darrian Campbell, he is fighting Tom Butter, we also have Dakotah Sanders fighting Casey Waters."
Those are just two of the four Buddy Boxing bouts, then there will also be a full card of 10 boxing matches, and an intermission show with sumo wrestlers and pillow fighters.
"We have two pillow fighting matches," Garcia said. "I'm going to tell you, these are official PFC Pillow Fighting Championship pillows."
Proceeds from the event will help Fight The Stigma start programs to assist in mental health treatment in the area.
"Our very first big project is called A Clear Path," Garcia said. "We actually received a grant from the Hutchinson Community Foundation. These funds will also go towards this program. We are going to partner with local home health companies, physicians, medical staff and aid people in their homes who just need a little bit of help picking up."
For tickets to Saturday's event go to the Fight The Stigma Facebook page. Tickets are $10.
