SUGAR RAY LEONARD FOUNDATION
TO HONOR FIRE STATION 69
WITH THE 2025 GOLDEN GLOVE AWARD AT 14TH
ANNUAL
‘BIG FIGHTERS, BIG CAUSE’ CHARITY BOXING
NIGHT PRESENTED BY B. RILEY SECURITIES
LOS ANGELES - The Sugar Ray Leonard
Foundation today announced that Fire Station 69 will
receive the Golden Glove Award at its 14th annual "Big
Fighters, Big Cause" Charity Boxing Night. Presented
by B. Riley Securities, the event will take place on
Wednesday, May 21 at The Ritz-Carlton, Marina del Rey. The
evening, set to be hosted by writer, producer and comedian Chris
Spencer, will feature dynamic live fights presented by Oscar
De La Hoya’s Golden Boy Promotions, a National
Anthem performance by singer-songwriter Claire Khodara,
and silent and live auctions full of iconic memorabilia and
one-of-a-kind experiences.
Fire Station 69’s Captain Jeff Brown,
Apparatus Operator Mike Romero, Engineer Chris Burton,
Firefighter Eric Mendoza and Firefighter/Paramedic Daved
Jarueguy will be honored with The Golden Glove Award – a
symbol of service, compassion, and the power of giving back.
These brave local heroes were among the very first to
respond when the devastating Palisades fire erupted on
January 7, exemplifying extraordinary courage, strength, and
dedication in the face of overwhelming danger.
“Each year, ‘Big Fighters, Big Cause’ reminds
me of the power we have – inside and outside of the ring –
to change lives. Honoring Fire Station 69 with the Golden
Glove Award is especially meaningful this year, as we
recognize the heroes who put everything on the line to
protect our homes and our community. As someone who is a
30-year resident of the Pacific Palisades, I’m deeply
grateful for their courage and commitment,” said Sugar Ray
Leonard.
Proceeds from the "Big Fighters, Big Cause"
Charity Boxing Night benefit the Sugar Ray Leonard
Foundation’s mission to fund life-changing research,
awareness and care 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.
