Athletics 4 Kids (A4K)

Nov 24, 2003

By Catherine Barr

 

Hit me with your best shot. It's been two successful years for the Athletics 4 Kids (A4K) organization which works to provide kids with financial support to participate in sports. The project is the brainchild of well-known North Shore athlete Shane Collins who, along with wife Debbie , donate their skills and time to the cause. The group was the first to bring a sanctioned boxing match to the North Shore last year and plans to do the same again this year in April. So put up yer dukes and let's get down to it.
