Please Join Representative Pedro Colón for an event to benefit youth boxers in Milwaukee.

Where: The United Community Center (UCC) – 1028 S. 9th St., Milwaukee

Time: The Event begins at 5:00 p.m. and Rep. Colón squares off at 8:30 p.m.

Israel “Shorty” Acosta is the head of the UCC Boxing Program. As both competitive boxer and coach, Shorty Acosta has been involved in the sport of amateur boxing since 1972 when he trained as an Olympic Boxer, ultimately representing the United States on the 1980 Olympic team.

As a coach and head of the UCC Boxing program, Shorty Acosta works every day with young men and women who pursue the sport of boxing. He does this while ensuring that these kids continue to achieve high academic standards and the discipline necessary for their chosen sport.

This event seeks sponsors to help the team that Shorty Acosta has worked with to allow them to compete in the upcoming State and Regional Junior/Senior Tournaments on May 16/17 and May 30/31.

Thank you for your consideration to help these kids who train at the UCC.

Sincerely,

Pedro
