GLOBAL SUPERSTAR NICK JONAS TO RECEIVE 2022 GOLDEN GLOVE AWARD AT 11TH ANNUAL SUGAR RAY LEONARD FOUNDATION ‘BIG FIGHTERS, BIG CAUSE’ CHARITY BOXING NIGHT PRESENTED BY B. RILEY SECURITIES PhilBoxing.com Fri, 22 Apr 2022 LOS ANGELES, CA (April 21, 2022) – The Sugar Ray Leonard Foundation today announced that GRAMMY-nominated, multi-platinum selling global superstar, actor, producer and philanthropist Nick Jonas will receive the Golden Glove Award at its 11th annual "Big Fighters, Big Cause" Charity Boxing Night presented by B. Riley Securities on Wednesday, May 25 at The Beverly Hilton Hotel. The star-studded evening is set to be hosted by Chris Spencer with a National Anthem performance by EMPIRE Nashville recording artist Sophia Scott, action-packed live fights presented by Oscar De La Hoya’s Golden Boy Promotions and a live and silent auction display featuring iconic memorabilia and one-of-a-kind items and experiences. The 2022 Golden Glove Award will acknowledge Jonas’ commitment to helping raise awareness for diabetes. In addition to his many accomplishments, Jonas also co-founded Beyond Type 1, a global nonprofit organization that provides education and resources to support those affected by diabetes. With the largest digital footprint of any diabetes nonprofit, Beyond Type 1 has created some of the most innovative platforms and programs focused on education, advocacy, and the pathway to a cure for type 1, all while helping individuals live beyond their diabetes. Diagnosed with Type 1 Diabetes at the age of 13, Jonas has used his platform to help normalize what it means to live with the disease while encouraging youth to follow their dreams despite their struggles. Additionally, Jonas has served as an advocate for a variety of other important issues, including health and education for youth, as well as advocacy for human rights causes worldwide. Proceeds from the "Big Fighters, Big Cause" Charity Boxing Night benefit the Sugar Ray Leonard Foundation’s mission to fund life-changing research, care and awareness for pediatric type 1 and 2 diabetes, and to help children live healthier lives through diet and exercise. About Sugar Ray Leonard Foundation The Sugar Ray Leonard Foundation was established in 2009 by boxing legend and six-time world champion Sugar Ray Leonard and his wife, Bernadette. The Sugar Ray Leonard Foundation is committed to funding research and care for pediatric type 1 & 2 diabetes and creates awareness for both diseases. The Foundation also strives to help children live healthier lives through diet and exercise. Type 1 diabetes strikes both children and adults at any age. It comes on suddenly, causes dependence on injected or pumped insulin for life, and carries the constant threat of devastating complications. Type 2 diabetes in children is on the rise, fueled largely by the obesity epidemic. Leonard draws from his personal experience and boxing career to provide inspiration for funding research to combat the disease. For more information, visit www.sugarrayleonardfdn.org.
