17th Annual Guns N Hoses Charity Boxing Event Raises Funds for Local Children
The 17th Annual Guns N Hoses Charity Boxing event took place at Camp Jordan in Chattanooga, Tennessee, to raise funds for local children through the Forgotten Child Fund and the YMCA's Y-CAP program.
Chattanooga, TN, October 31, 2026 — The 17th Annual Guns N Hoses Charity Boxing event was recently held at Camp Jordan in Chattanooga, Tennessee.
This annual event is dedicated to raising funds to support local children in need. The proceeds from this year’s event are designated to benefit two key charitable organizations: the Forgotten Child Fund and the YMCA’s Y-CAP program.
The Guns N Hoses event typically brings together individuals from various community sectors, often including law enforcement, firefighters, and other first responders, for a series of boxing matches. While specific details regarding the participants or the outcome of the matches were not provided in the summary, the core purpose remains philanthropic. The format serves as a unique platform to generate community engagement and financial contributions towards important causes.
The Forgotten Child Fund is an organization that aims to provide assistance and resources to children who are victims of abuse, neglect, or abandonment. Its work often focuses on ensuring these children have access to basic needs and support services. Similarly, the YMCA’s Y-CAP (Youth Crime Prevention and Intervention Program) works with at-risk youth to offer guidance, mentorship, and programs designed to foster positive development and deter involvement in crime.
By hosting the 17th iteration of this charity boxing event, organizers and participants aimed to contribute to the ongoing efforts of these two organizations. The choice of Camp Jordan as the venue provided a local setting for the community to gather and support the initiative. The funds raised are intended to directly impact the lives of children within the Chattanooga area by supporting the services offered by the Forgotten Child Fund and the YMCA’s Y-CAP program.
