Guardians Among Us
This Event is a powerful one-day boxing exhibition and community event created to raise awareness and funds for military and veteran suicide prevention.
Brought to you by the ON-X Foundation and hosted by Unity Combat Club, this event brings together service members, veterans, and civilians in a spirit of unity, competition, and purpose.
​
All matches are exhibition-only, with no winners, no official records, and no judges — just heart, respect, and controlled sparring that highlights skill over ego. Each bout is limited to x3 2 minute rounds and is designed to showcase discipline, camaraderie, and the strength of our military and veteran community.
​
Proceeds go directly to programs that provide mental health support, outreach, and resources to Active Military and Veterans.
