Awalife Naija Limited recently staged a celebrity boxing bash in Nigeria. The event held at Landmark, featuring Charles Okocha and Habeed Okikiola, alias Portable, not only brought an electrifying sports spectacle to the nation, but also marked a turning point in charitable endeavors.
The organisers said that the proceeds from the Celebrity Boxing Bash were earmarked for a noble cause, highlighting AwaLife Naija’s commitment to creating measurable social impact. In collaboration with the Komarg Foundation, funds generated from the event were dedicated to providing free eye surgeries.
This initiative builds on AwaLife Naija’s previous sponsorship of 100 free eye surgeries in October 2023, underscoring their dedication to improving lives.
Co-founder and spokesperson for AwaLife Naija, Taye Philip Ajao, expressed enthusiasm about bringing such an innovative concept to Nigeria.
“Boxing is an exciting sport, and to be the first people to organise and provide live streaming of a celebrity boxing match in Nigeria is a blessing.”
He added: “It’s an idea we want to guard jealously as we continue to raise funds for charitable causes.”
The Celebrity Boxing Bash drew attention not only for its entertaining matchups, but also for its impact-driven approach. AwaLife Naija has positioned itself as a trailblazer in the intersection of sports and philanthropy, setting a precedent for future events that combine entertainment with social responsibility.
The success of the Celebrity Boxing Bash serves as a testament to AwaLife Naija’s mission – rewriting the script on social change. By infusing entertainment with purpose, the organization continues to make significant strides in creating a positive impact on the lives of Nigerians.
In the words of Ajao, “this is just the beginning. We are excited about the possibilities that lie ahead, and we will persist in our endeavors to innovate and contribute meaningfully to the well-being of our motherland.”
