What Fire in the Ring Boxing Inc does
Mission
Our mission is to empower youth by teaching the values of sportsmanship, discipline, and self-confidence through the sport of boxing. We strive to create a positive and supportive environment
As stated on its FY2024 Form 990.
Program
The Program is designed to build confidence, sportmanship and leadership for Boys and Girls ages 6-17. To teach youth the value of hard work through the sport of boxing. We have 150 youth participants. Our youth are never required to pay any Program Fees. The program held three successful events in 2024, in which our youth participated in demonstrating the art of Boxing. During the summer weekends we hosted youth organizations from other communities for open sparing and invited then to join us for a barbeque and refreshments. We continue to have special nights with pizza or barbeques for our youth participants. We are always striving to keep our facility clean and in excellent condition. In 2024 we moved to a new location. The new facility is double the size of our previous location. It is located on a main thoroughfare making the facility more accessible to the youth, via Public Transportation.

The organization over time
Each line starts at 100 in 2017, so what you read is the shape rather than the size: 150 means half as much again as 2017, 50 means half. The number beside each label in the key is where it ended. The shaded band is where the middle 50% of its peers' revenue would sit, given their growth.
Balance sheet
Total assets and total liabilities at each year end, in dollars. The largest one-year move in total assets was 2018 to 2019, from $175k to $30k (−83%).
How it's funded, over time
