Washington, D.C., USA - November 18, 2015 /PressCable/ —
WASHINGTON, D.C., November 17, 2015 – When Push Marketing & Promotions NY/NJ was approached by Fight For Children and main event sponsor Under Armour to serve as their event staffing partner for Fight Night 2015, they jumped at the chance to be involved with such a worthy charitable cause. Fight Night is a premiere fundraiser that raises money to help improve the health and education of at-risk children in the Washington D.C. and Baltimore areas.
As one of the most storied local events of the year, the 26th annual Fight Night held at the Washington Hilton on Thursday, November 5th was a star-studded affair. In attendance were nearly 2,000 heavyweights of business, government, philanthropy, sports and entertainment. PUSH was tapped to staff 230 promotional models to serve as event hostesses and cocktail servers as well as provide dynamic atmosphere models. “This was one of our most challenging but rewarding assignments to date.”, stated PUSH NY/NJ owner Mark Bernardini. “We were tasked with providing a large number of promotional staff who not only enhanced the atmosphere with their stunning looks, but made sure the event attendees were well taken care of in their roles as hostesses. Most importantly, they all acted as goodwill ambassadors to Under Armor and Fight For Children by contributing to the positive energy, spirit and enjoyment of the evening. I am very proud of our promotional staff as everyone rose to the occasion and customer service was noted at all time high.” By all accounts the evening was a huge success, raising more than $5 million for Fight For Children which was an all-time record for the event.
During the entertainment portion of the evening, there was a special tribute to Muhammad Ali. The values that Mr. Ali believed in and fought for is also the core mission of Fight For Children. Mr. Ali believed that all kids deserved the same opportunity to pursue their dreams regardless of their background or their financial limitations. Other entertainment included a sneak preview of the upcoming Sylvester Stallone boxing drama “Creed” with a special appearance from the film’s star, Michael B. Jordan. Special appearances from the boxing world included James “Buster” Douglas, Leon Spinks, Ray “Boom Boom” Mancini and Aaron Pryor as well as boxing greats Ernie Shavers and Gerry Cooney. The night’s main event included professional and amateur boxing matches, highlighted by the WBC welterweight fight between Javier Flores and Jamie Herrera.
