Eastside Boxing Club

General information

Boxing coach David Schuck started the Eastside Boxing Club after the closure of the historical Astoria Boxing Club, where he was the head coach.

As a non-profit boxing club, Eastside Boxing is faced with the financial struggles of finding a new space, purchasing equipment and having the capital to run a successful community boxing club. Luckely Aprons for Gloves has stepped in and will be donating all proceeds of the Restaurant Rumble to Dave Schuck's gym.

Eastside Boxing Club’s (ESB) goal is to improve lives through Boxing. Using collaborative processes ESB offers services to engage community members, who otherwise, would not have the opportunity to take part. By partnering with community-based service providers ESB provides free, low-barrier, boxing programs to vulnerable populations.

Community Partners:

NICCSS Roving leaders – The Roving Leaders Program is a flexible, community-based initiative that connects and engages vulnerable, at-risk children & youth in East Vancouver neighbourhoods. This program focuses on connecting with the children and youth where they are, building a relationship and then helping them to integrate into neighbourhood programs, services and education opportunities.

The Homework Club - Youth Engagement Project (YEP): is a project to engage the most at-risk students, providing them with the additional support they need to be successful at school.
