NEW YORK (September 18, 2019) - Last night at its monthly meeting, Ring 8 honored members of the USA Metros (New York) team who competed in the 2019 National Junior Olympics in Wisconsin.
Eleven team members attended as well as their coach, Ray Cuadrado. The amateur boxers and their families each enjoyed dinner and received Ring 8 hats and pins, in addition to a free Ring membership through December 31, 2020.
ABOUT RING 8: Formed in 1954 by an ex-prizefighter, Jack Grebelsky, 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 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.

Annual membership dues is only $30.00 and each member is entitled to a buffet dinner at RING 8 monthly meetings, excluding July and August.
