Lawnton will host the first Kid Gloves Day, a community initiative supporting young boxers through All Star Boxing Gym and its youth programs.
Kid Gloves Day Set for Lawnton
The inaugural Kid Gloves Day will take place in Lawnton on 20 September 2025, highlighting the work of All Star Boxing Gym in guiding young people through sport. The event is backed by Barbers at Brendale, which has taken on the role of major sponsor.
Community Support for Youth Development
The program at All Star Boxing Gym is open to children as young as six and has supported hundreds of participants over the past 15 years. Beyond physical training, the gym focuses on discipline, confidence and providing a positive environment for children from diverse backgrounds.
Event Program
Kid Gloves Day will begin at 7 a.m. at the Lawnton gym, where families, schools, local businesses and the public can meet coaches, watch training, and see how the program operates. A barber’s chair will also be set up at the gym as part of the day’s activities.
In the afternoon, the celebration will continue at Barbers at Brendale with a community barbecue and drinks. Free haircuts will be offered to attendees.
Purpose and Impact
Funds raised through the event will help cover the costs of training equipment and travel expenses for gym members competing across Australia. The initiative aims to raise both financial support and awareness for the role grassroots sport plays in shaping young lives.
Coaches and Training Approach
All Star Boxing Gym’s coaching team includes Ben Harrington, Miles Zalewski, Kaaden Sloane, Paul Utia, Herb Taggart and Andrew Bulcher. The gym promotes tailored training, modern equipment, and a focus on both fitness and enjoyment.
Next Steps
Local families and businesses are encouraged to take part in the inaugural event, with the long-term goal of establishing Kid Gloves Day as an ongoing community tradition.
