Brian Higgins, President of Private Flight Advisors, helps raise $200,000 for cancer research

Brian Higgins, President of Private Flight Advisors, recently participated in the 2012 Haymakers for Hope charity boxing event at the House of Blues Boston. Haymakers for Hope is a non-profit organization with a mission to promote awareness for cancer research. Each year they hold the Haymakers for Hope charity event which is a USA Boxing sanctioned fight featuring novices who have trained with pro boxing trainers for 4-6 months. The volunteer fighters come from all walks of life with one goal in mind - to help raise money for the Dana Farber Cancer Institute and The Jimmy Fund.

Taking place in front of over 1500 people, the second annual Haymakers for Hope featured 26 boxers in 13 thrilling matches, ranging from heavyweight to female competitions. The night was a huge success, full of fun and great competition, all for a very deserving cause. Through ticket sales and sponsorships, the charity boxing event was able to raise over $200,000 for the Jimmy Fund & Dana-Farber Cancer Institute.

Brian would like to thank everyone who supported this fantastic event.  For more information on the Haymakers for Hope charity boxing event, please watch the video below or visit their website at http://haymakersforhope.org/.
