Since our foundation in 2013, Christian Boxing Academy has worked to transform the lives of individuals in Southeast Missouri through Christ and boxing. Founded by Danny Rees, the mission sought to improve the lives of young adults (1st through 12th grade) living in southeast Missouri regardless of their background. The program has had 12 young men and young women graduate from high school since its inception.
Over the past several years the organization has grown and pivoted which included moving to a new building, bringing in local community members, and starting a program for Parkinson’s disease patients. Today the academy hosts programs 5 days a week. Through all the changes, God’s grace, love, and holy spirit has remained ever present. Each day we are blessed and God’s work is evident in the participants who work to make their lives better.
