Downtown Boxing Gym
Aesculapians sponsors one organization each year. This community partner is selected by our members in recognition of their devotion and service to the city of Detroit. We organize volunteer events with selected charity for medical students to participate and the proceeds from our end of the year event goes to said partner.
"The Downtown Boxing Gym was founded in 2007 by internationally recognized coach and youth mentor, Khali Sweeney. He opened the doors to our free, out-of-school time program with passion, purpose and a mission to help young people succeed.
Over the years, our team has grown to include our professional academic staff, volunteer tutors, coaches and others to provide the resources and educational opportunities our students need and deserve. Growing up, Khali didn’t have those things and he struggled.
He founded DBG to ensure students in and around the Detroit area have the support they need to learn, thrive and accomplish great things. We’re proud to have maintained a 100% high school graduation rate since 2007. At DBG, we train kids for life."
