Hello all,
I co-founded and run Empire Fighting Chance, one of the charities of the year supported by the football club.
Yesterday we had a bucket collection and raised an incredible £568.26.
Your generosity is outstanding and this money will genuinely help change lives.
i also want to say that the club have been brilliant to deal with throughout the process and deserve credit for how committed they were in helping us.
Thanks again and UTG

Great effort. I couldn't help noticing that there was a charity collection @
Ashton Gate at the Derby County game. Attendance over 20,000 and they collected
£550.

Hello pirate,
As way of an update we have just received an individual donation of £100 so the total was £668 in the end which is fantastic.
Thanks rememberhalifax. The club were great with us as were the fans, although i always knew we are the best!

My son joined the local ABA club when he was 14 as a shy and often lonely lad and it transformed him. He was welcomed and although its a tough sport, he was looked after by the coaches like he was their own son. There is something special in terms of the confidence, respect and friendship bred by boxing clubs and Empire is something that Bristol should be proud. Some amateur football club could, I suspect, learn a lot from them in terms of how to treat youngsters.

Thanks Westwindy
I think boxing clubs perform a fantastic social service and I am proud to be part of Empire. 3 of our amateur coaches have been involved with the club for nearly 50 years each , all unpaid which is something special.
