Boxing Program
In partnership with the Merced County Sheriff's Activities League and 51FIFTY Enterprises, the Carlos Vieira Foundation works to keep kids off the streets, out of gangs, and away from drugs through the Gloves Not Drugs after-school boxing program. The program allows children a safe place to learn discipline, strength, respect, camaraderie, and the art of these sports. It also gives kids another choice by presenting the opportunity to better themselves individually versus the alternative of being on the streets getting into trouble.
The Gloves Not Drugs Boxing Program is 100% free to children between the ages of 8-18. To participate in the program, the children must maintain school grades of C or better. The gyms are currently located in three cities: Livingston, Atwater, and Planada. The plan is to continue to grow the program throughout Central California.
