HOBOKEN – The fighting is about to pick up over the Hoboken University Medical Center, and no, it doesn’t have anything to do with the hospital’s pending sale. In fact, it will benefit a local AIDS organization.
The Hoboken University Medical Center Foundation will partner with Everlast and LA Boxing to host “Fight Night 2011” at the W Hotel, 225 River St., on July 7, at 7:30 p.m.
The event is being billed as “an exciting card of amateur fights sanctioned by the New Jersey Association of USA Boxing,” according to a release.
Ticket packages range from a general admission standing room ticket for $25 to a ring side seat with dinner at Zylo and an open bar at the W’s Chandelier Room for $205, with many other options in between.
All proceeds will support FAITH services. Founded in 1988, FAITH Services is the only HIV/AIDS dedicated agency in Hudson County, according to the hospital’s website.
To purchase tickets, go to www.hobokenumc.com or call (201) 418-2009. No tickets will be sold at the door. — Ray Smith
