Fists will be thrown in Burnfoot for all the right reasons this Friday 23rd August as the Halfway House hosts a major charity boxing event.
The ‘Brawl in the Halfway Hall’ is in memory of Darren Quinn, a local man tragically killed almost nineteen years ago by a drunk driver. This year would have seen Darren celebrating his 40th birthday. The anniversary year will now be marked with an unmissable night of boxing and a fundraising raffle in his honour.
Darren Quinn, who died at the age of 21 alongside his cousin Gavin Duffy and friends Charlene O’Connor (21), Rochelle Peoples (22), and David Steele (23)
The night promises to be a thrilling spectacle, with a roster of local boxers set to battle it out in the ring.
Proceeds from the event will be donated to the Friends of Inishowen Hospice and the James Connolly Memorial Hospital patient care fund.
This event is special because most boxers stepping into the ring are novices—no prior fight experience, just raw passion and determination for a great charitable cause. This is their first time under the bright lights and they’re ready to give it their all.
