About The Beltway Brawl & Haymakers for Hope: Join us for 16 action packed bouts as 32 brave men and women step into the ring for the first time in an effort to KO Cancer at The Beltway Brawl! Established in 2010, Haymakers for Hope’s mission is to knockout cancer the only way we know how, by literally fighting for a cure. We give everyday men and women the opportunity to fight back against this terrible disease by training and competing in charity boxing events to help raise money and awareness. To prepare for each event, we combine the efforts of first time amateur boxing participants, local boxing gyms, and generous donors. Thanks to the support of our fighters, sponsors, and volunteers, Haymakers for Hope has raised more than $11.5 million for cancer research, care, awareness and survivorship to date.
