Join us for a powerful and inspiring evening as we celebrate “Rising Up: Rocky and the Making of Monuments” and the incredible legacy of Philadelphia boxing—a story that goes far beyond the ring.
The exhibition explores the art of boxing as both sport and storytelling, examining the relationship between fictional icons like Rocky Balboa and real-life champions such as Joe Frazier, and how each has shaped culture, identity, and the meaning of resilience.
We’re proud to share that Joe Frazier’s Gym & Community Center is part of this special exhibition, honoring the impact of Joe Frazier—not just as a champion, but as a symbol of resilience, culture, and Black history in sports and beyond. Joe Frazier will also be featured throughout the exhibition, highlighting his enduring influence on the sport and the community.

Our Youth Sports & Wellness Initiative is designed to empower young people through a dynamic blend of athletic development and academic enrichment. In collaboration with ISAA, a trusted organization with over 30 years of impact. We are creating meaningful opportunities for youth to build discipline, confidence, and lifelong skills both on and off the field, court, track and more.
This initiative will provide structured sports programming alongside educational support, mentorship, and wellness resources, ensuring that participants are not only physically active but also academically supported and mentally resilient.
Together, we are committed to fostering environments where youth can thrive, develop leadership skills, and reach their full potential.
