Be Empowered Victorious Ones.
The Corner Man 2025
A message from event coordinator, Bevo Boys Board of Directors member, Tempia Waddell
Because of our community, we had such a phenomenal time at The 2025 Cornerman: Kids & Dads in the Ring event! From the laughter, the sweat, the cheers, and the bonds built, one thing is clear: We have the best supporters, donors, and partners. Together we showed up for the kids, and planted seeds of strength and resilience.
On behalf of Bevo Boys Fitness Academy, I want to extend my deepest gratitude to every parent, volunteer, sponsor, and supporter who made this day possible. Because of you, over 60 youth stepped into an environment where they were encouraged, challenged, and celebrated. Every medal we handed out represented more than just participation -it represented determination, confidence, and growth.
But the impact did not stop there. New friendships were formed. Families connected on a deeper level. And, exciting new partnerships with organizations across the city began to take root. That’s the power of community in action.
At Bevo Boys Fitness Academy, our mission is simple, but bold: to use fitness, mentorship, and positive outlets as tools to build stronger, healthier, and more resilient youth. With your continued support, we’re not just putting gloves on kids’ hands — we’re putting hope in their hearts and vision in their future.
So thank you! Thank you for believing in our rising generation, for standing with our mission, and for being part of a momentum that will carry forward into every corner of our community. Together, we are shaping tomorrow’s leaders, today.
With gratitude,
Tempia Waddell, Lpc-Mhsp

Our Mission
“Teach basic boxing fundamentals to keep at-risk youth off the streets.”
Bevo Boys Fitness Academy strives to develop champion youth. Bevo Boys promotes empowerment, self-motivation and self-control by teaching basic boxing fundamentals to at-risk youth in our community. Bevo Boys Fitness Academy is committed to improving community relations, helping youth achieve their goals, improve educational outcomes and attainment.
Equipment: No Special Equipment Needed!
Boys and Girls, ready to work it out? Enjoy a youth cardio boxing workout that includes a few short heart-pumping drills like shadow boxing, jumping, and punching drills. No special equipment is needed. You can still receive a solid workout by throwing light jabs into the air and keeping your hands moving.
During your workout with Coach Kenny, students will learn boxing techniques such as defense, blocks, footwork, padwork, heavy bagwork, self-defense, social skills, and bully prevention, and these techniques will help build youth's confidence in mind, body, and soul.
Participants will learn not just boxing techniques but will develop themselves mentally and use their newly acquired discipline to redirect the course of their lives positively. The structural training will help participants find new confidence in themselves.
Parents, it is easy to let video games be the answer to keeping their children occupied. But what if you could transform that screen time into something that would give them confidence, boost their immune system, keep them fit, and give them the tools to succeed in life?
The good news is Bevo Boys Boxing Academy is available Monday – Thursday to support youth's personal development. We provide a hands-on approach to keeping children engaged with one another and help them to Be Empowered Victorious Ones.
We are here to help support youths’ self-confidence to lead, stay focused, and learn self-discipline skills that will produce success in your child's life.
