Fundraiser for Sacramento Junior Olympic Hopefuls Saturday

By Ryan Maquiñana

Caballero's Boxing Club is trying to send two of the top amateurs from the Sacramento area to the National Junior Olympics, but they need a little help.

The gym will hold an event this Saturday at 3 p.m. to benefit 122-pounder Alberto Torres and 132-pounder Nancy Gutierrez in order to help with travel costs and other expenses for the tournament later this month, which will be held in Mobile, Alabama.

The cover charge for the fundraiser will be $5.00, and there will be both Mexican and Filipino food on hand.  The gym's goal is to raise $2,000 to make the kids' Junior Olympic dreams come true.

People who are unable to attend Saturday's event are more than welcome to donate money online to Caballero's through Paypal.  Click HERE to do that.

The location of Caballero's Boxing Club is 35 Quinta Court, Sacramento, CA 95823.  For more information, the Facebook event page can be found HERE.
