Join businesses and boxing legends for a night devoted to helping DC's kids
Fight For Children is an independent non-profit organization that recognizes, promotes, and cultivates quality education for low-income children in Washington, DC. Fight For Children also addresses the critical link between good health and improved academic performance. Our purpose reflects the goals of the organization's founder, Joseph E. Robert Jr., Chairman and CEO of J.E. Robert Companies: to ensure that all children have the chance to become tomorrow's leaders.

Fight For Children's unique approach to the challenges facing low-income youth in DC uses fact based research and collaborative partnerships to implement programmatic initiatives that create effective change. In addition, we make strategic grants to organizations that provide education and healthcare services to the youth of DC. With proven measurable results, the organizations supported by Fight For Children make a difference in the lives of children every day by expanding access to quality education, improving student achievement, and keeping kids healthy so they learn.

Over the years, we have raised more than $82 million through private contributions, corporate sponsorships, and two highly acclaimed fundraising events, Fight Night and School Night. One of the most eagerly anticipated events in Washington, DC, Fight Night brings together the heavyweights of business and government, entertainment and community service, as well as legends from the boxing world, for an evening of fun, auctions, and even professional boxing. School Night draws together community leaders and celebrities to recognize schools that are improving academic achievement among low-income students.

Thanks to the financial support of civic-minded, results-oriented individuals and businesses, we have been able to invest in more than 150 organizations that serve children and youth. Not only do these organizations share our vision, but they also deliver measurable results in their fight for the low-income children of Washington, a fight we are committed to winning.

Using proceeds from Fight Night, Fight For Children has invested in more than 150 organizations that serve children in the nation’s capital since 1990. Not only do these organizations share Fight For Children’s vision, but they deliver measurable results in their fight for low-income children—a fight all of us are committed to winning.
