Team Gunn To Donate A Portion of T-Shirt Sales To Promoting Bully Awareness

March 9, 2012 - PRLog -- Team Gunn recently announced that they will be donating a portion of proceeds raised from the sale of ‘Team Gunn’ T-Shirt to promoting bully awareness.

“In recent weeks Team Gunn has launched an effort to spread bully awareness, and so we are going to donate $2 out of every T-Shirt sale to promoting the cause,” said Chris Cella, Director of Public Relations, Team Gunn.  “Every week it seems there are reports of bullying-related deaths across the country.  It’s a real shame, and it’s time people step up and take action to combat this problem.”

On April 7 at the Landers Center in Southaven, MS, Bobby “The Celtic Warrior” Gunn will be going to battle with James “Lights Out” Toney for the IBA Heavyweight Title.  To promote the
cause, Gunn has announced that he is dedicating the fight to bullied victims worldwide.

“Bullying has become a disease that is slowly killing innocent kids,” said Gunn.  “Parents, teachers and authoritative figures need to be proactive in spreading awareness on how bullying can be dealt with the right way to ensure it does not progress to a deadly level.  Although bullying is a disease, it can be cured.”

“The bullying problem is continuing to spiral out of control,” said Cella.  “Team Gunn is hoping to spread awareness with the T-Shirts, and to get others to join our cause.  Individuals across the country—from celebrities to everyday people—need to join forces in working towards finding a solution to this growing epidemic.”

To support the growing cause, 15-year-old Georgia High School student Kirsten Hoge has
joined forces with Gunn and has created the Rise and Shine Bullying Organization.  At Gunn’s title fight April 7, Kirsten will speak alongside the world champion boxer to promote bully awareness.

“My goal is for our organization to grow and branch out to different states,” said Kirsten Hoge.  “We want to coordinate with schools to set up groups and programs for bullied kids so they can meet in a safe environment.”
