My name is Darion Bartibogue, and I’m proud to be a teacher at Brockton High School and now, I’m gearing up for my amateur boxing debut! This isn’t just about stepping into the ring, it’s about stepping up for the youth of Brockton. This exciting event is a fundraising mission to provide free memberships to Cappiellos boxing gym, giving our youth access to a space where they can channel their energy, build confidence, and stay off the streets. Boxing is more than a sport, it’s a transformative journey that connects the youth with inspiring coaches, supportive peers, and a community that champions growth and self-improvement. Together, we can empower our youth to fight for a brighter future.
Your sponsorship will play a huge role in making this fundraising event possible, helping cover event costs so that every dollar raised can go directly toward providing gym access, equipment, and mentorship for our youth.
In boxing, success is earned through hard work and dedication, creating a foundation for personal growth and a brighter future. Check out some of the success stories from people at the gym!
Join us in making a difference in the lives of young students. Your support helps us provide essential resources and memberships to the youth in our community.
As a former collegiate football player and coach, I understand the power of consistency and discipline in achieving one’s goals. Through this fundraiser, I’m committed to raising the necessary funds to provide Brockton students with free access to Cappiello's boxing gym, where they can develop these same qualities.
Mike "Little Rock" Cappiello: A True Champion in and out of the Ring
Mike Cappiello is more than just a former professional boxer—he’s a mentor, a leader, and a true pillar of the Brockton boxing community. With an impressive pro record of 33 wins, 6 losses, and 13 knockouts, he represented the toughness and heart that Brockton fighters are known for. But what stands out most about Mike isn’t just what he did in the ring—it’s what he’s done for the people around him.
As the co-owner of Cappiello Boxing Gym, Mike has created a space where young athletes can grow, learn, and push themselves beyond their limits. He’s dedicated his life to helping others find strength through boxing, giving countless kids and aspiring fighters the guidance, discipline, and confidence they need—not just in the ring, but in life. He’s kept Brockton’s rich boxing legacy alive, making sure the "City of Champions" continues to live up to its name.
I’m beyond grateful to be training for my amateur debut at Cappiello Boxing Gym. Mike has gone above and beyond to support this fundraising event, making sure more kids in Brockton get access to the sport that changes lives. His generosity and dedication to this community inspire me every day, and I couldn’t ask for a better place or a better mentor to help me prepare for this fight.
This is bigger than just one night. This is about giving back, building up the next generation, and fighting for something that truly matters. Thank you, Mike, for everything you do. Let’s keep making history!
