We created and designed the gorgeous program that was given out
to the VIP tables and the commemorative screen slides for all
inductees at the beginning of the ceremony.
TEAM GJWB from left to right:
Ellen Connor (coach), Helene Jafine, Kristina Ejem, Kandi Wyatt
(professional boxer) , and Lyla Simon (official).
It was an honour to be in a room and help celebrate all of these
INCREDIBLE women (and men) that helped pave the way for the
future of women's boxing and where it is today.
The event included: Meet & greets with the inductees, Christy
Martin book purchases/signings, buffet dinner, speeches and
more! Tears, smiles and laughs were shared as 16 inductees + 6
special award recipients recounted stories from the past and
their experiences.
It was a very special moment for everyone.
Congratulations to all the inductees: Eva Jones-Young, Hannah
Fox, Fredia Gibbs, Delia Gonzalez, Margaret Sidoroff, Tori
Nelson, Eliza Olson, Brooke Dierdorff, Tracy Byrd, Cora Webber,
Thomas Gerbassi, Jimmy Finn, Rose Trentman, Susi Kentikan, Rose
