"Charity begins at home" - Charles Dickens

...But sometimes it takes a detour through a boxing ring! Like, say, tonight, for instance! Tonight, 911 Gives Hope proudly presents "Guns and Hoses!"

This exciting annual tri-state event gives police officers and firefighters the opportunity to duke it out in the boxing ring to raise money for charity. All the proceeds go back to 911 Gives Hope, an extraordinary organization comprised of police, firefighters, and paramedics that devotes its time to improving the lives of children and adults living with disabilities in the local community.

911 Gives Hope has raised more than $160,000 for children's charities since its inception. And they look forward to seeing how that total is increased tonight. "Guns and Hoses" for 911 Gives Hopes--tonight at 7PM at the Ford Center, downtown Evansville.
