HomeMy WebLinkAbout(P1) Juneteenth Texas & Louisiana (2)Purpose of Organization: The mission of Lion Hearted is to provide free and affordable services for low-
income youth within Jefferson County. Each of our programs and services are designed to combat the
nations’ highest period of adolescent obesity by introducing healthy, active lifestyles through boxing and
fitness at local gyms throughout Jefferson County. Existing in low-income areas of Port Arthur &
Beaumont, we have a passion for assisting those in need. Our programs exist in low-income areas but
are available to all youth regardless of family income in an effort to offer a reasonable commute for
those in critical areas of need. We operate year around, ensuring the youth in our program have access
to mentorship, resources, and services. Our board members consist of retired military veterans and
experienced coaches, and we have a diverse organization that serves the community through an all-
volunteer, unpaid team of staff. We currently have nationally ranked youth that are registered and
compete under the United States Olympic & Paralympic Center USA Amateur Boxing.
