🥊 Mighty Mitts Boxing Youth Program 🥊

Our Mighty Mitts Boxing Youth Program has been incredibly well received by the students at Bundaberg East State School.

A heartfelt thank you to all the school staff for your ongoing support and commitment. A special shout-out to Leon Lumby our Mighty Mitts Facilitator for your passion, leadership, and dedication. Your positive influence is helping make this program such a success and empowering our children to grow in confidence, respect, and resilience.

Together, we're making a real difference—one child at a time. 💙

🥊 Week 2 of Mighty Mitts Warriors was another fantastic success!

We welcomed many new families this week, and we're incredibly grateful to everyone referring families to our program. Your support is helping more young people access positive mentoring, fitness and a safe place to grow.

A big shout out to Leon for his enthusiasm and guidance, and a huge thank you to McDonald's Bundaberg for generously donating our weekly Achievement Awards to celebrate our little champions.

What a fantastic morning at Women of Bundy! 💙🥊

Local women came together at the Bundaberg Aquatic Centre for a morning of fitness, fun, laughter and meaningful conversations.

A big thank you to Kelly Lumby for leading a fantastic fitness session, Kaylene Bradshaw from Impact Community Services for her inspiring talk on Respectful Relationships, and the Bundaberg Aquatic Centre team for their wonderful hospitality.

Women of Bundy is about creating a safe, welcoming space where women can connect, build confidence and support one another.

🥊 What a fantastic start to Term 3! 😀

Week 1 of our Mighty Mitts Boxing Program was a great success, with 33 little Mighty Mitts Warriors attending our two sessions at The Y School Bundaberg campus.

It was wonderful to welcome back so many of our Mighty Mitts families and to see some new faces joining our community for the first time. Thank you to all the parents and carers for your continued support.

A big thank you to Mighty Mitts Facilitator Leon, who had all the children actively engaged in a discussion about Integrity and what it looks like from their point of view.

The children shared some fantastic ideas about integrity, including being honest, doing the right thing even when no one is watching, taking responsibility for their actions, showing kindness, and treating others with respect. It was great to see everyone contributing, listening to each other, and sharing their thoughts with confidence.

We're looking forward to another term of building confidence, respect, resilience, self-discipline and positive friendships—one session at a time.

Welcome to the Mighty Mitts family! 💙🥊Wishing all of our Mighty Mitts Warriors and their families a fantastic Term 3!

A fantastic opportunity for local women to connect, learn and grow together. 💕

A huge thank you to everyone who came along to support me on Friday night at the Fred Brophy Boxing Troupe. Your encouragement and support meant the world.
My good mate Luke from PCYC and I stepped into the ring against two very experienced and intimidating opponents. Both stood over 6'2", with one towering at 6'6". They were strong, lean, and highly skilled, and we knew from the opening bell we were in for a tough fight.
We may have been outclassed, but we never backed down. We stood our ground, gave everything we had, and fought until the final bell.
That's exactly what Luke and I teach through the PCYC Youth Programs and Mighty Mitts Boxing Qld Inc.—courage, resilience, respect, and never giving up, even when the odds are against you. We believe in leading by example, and Friday night was an opportunity to do just that.
Thank you to Fred Brophy and his team, our opponents, and everyone who cheered us on. We'll keep doing what we love—supporting the children, young people, and families of Bundaberg, one session at a time. 🥊❤️
