LAS VEGAS – July 24, 2017 – *September, 16th* is a huge day for boxing in
Las Vegas, with Saul “Canelo” Alvarez facing Gennady “GGG” Golovkin in a
must-win contest for the king of the middleweight division. As boxing’s
elite descend on the Las Vegas Strip, *the Raging Babes of Boxing will once
again gather to network*, *laugh and bond over brunch.*
This year’s event will be held at the *Mandalay Bay’s Border Grill,* with
views of Mandalay Bay’s beach, and the unlimited mimosas that brunch
attendees have come to expect over four years of Raging Babe events. More
importantly, attendees will enjoy opportunities to meet and network with
some of boxing’s top executives, most important behind-the-scenes players
and inspirational women from across the industry.
The event continues to grow, with over 50 women attending the last brunch
“New York, New York,” in 2016, and Raging Babe founder Michelle Rosado
expects a full house for September’s brunch. Rosado settled on “Shine
Bright” for the event’s theme. “Who shines brighter than the women of
boxing,” said Rosado. “This event has grown to be so much more than a bunch
of women sharing a meal. Experiences, talents, and stories of heartbreak
and triumph are shared at these events. They have come to mean a lot to the
women working tirelessly to advance this sport of ours.”
As past events have done, Shine Bright will honor one of boxing’s most
influential women with the Luminary Award. “I can’t wait to share our
honoree’s story,” said Rosado, who indicated the award winner would be
announced soon.
*Shine Bright will benefit a cause close to Rosado’s heart – the recovery
of boxer Prichard Colon.* “Prichard has made some great strides in his
recovery, but the fact remains that the therapy he needs, the medical
expenses, the support that his family needs, doesn’t end. His family has
sacrificed everything to help him get better, and he sacrificed everything
to entertain us in the ring.” Rosado, along with boxing manager and
entrepreneur Livvy Cunningham, created the Facebook group, “Pray 4
Prichard,” which has been a place for the Colon family to find
encouragement and support via messages from boxing fans all over the world.
A percentage of the proceeds from Shine Bright will benefit the Prichard
Colon Foundation, which funds the hefty monthly insurance premiums that are
essential to Colon’s recovery.
