Nearly 150 people turned out for last Sunday’s fifth annual Ring 8 Family Picnic at Brady Park in Massapequa Reserve, Nassau on Long Island, New York.
Hamburgers, chicken, hot dogs, corn-on-the-cob, macaroni and potato salads were consumed along with a wide variety of beverages and desserts. The most popular children activities included a face painter and magician.
Ring 8 became the eighth subsidiary of what was then known as the National Veteran Boxers Association – hence, Ring 8 – and today the organization’s motto still remains: Boxers Helping Boxers.
Ring 8 is fully committed to supporting less fortunate people in the boxing community who may require assistance in terms of paying rent, medical expenses, or whatever justifiable need.
