Chicago hospitality steps into the ring

Bartenders, chefs, servers, owners and hotel teams train for three months, then fight on a real card in front of a black-tie crowd. Most have never boxed before. That is the point.

Rebels for a Cause is STRENGTH IN THE CITY's charity fight night, and every dollar raised funds wellness programs in Chicago.

  • 900+ guests

    Up from about 400

  • $20,000 raised
