By partnering with the WBC Cares, the Feet First Foundation, who already has had over 10,000 students go through their program, now aims to extend its curriculum nationally as a supportive outlet for schools around the world.\u00a0The Feet First Foundation has found success implementing a data-backed program that uses boxing exercise and group discussion to inspire strong character in these school children.<\/p>\n
Founded in the state of California in 2017, the Feet First Foundation under the guidance of co-founders\u00a0Dan Dorsett<\/strong>,\u00a0Sean Sharkey<\/strong>,\u00a0Zach Micheletti<\/strong>\u00a0and\u00a0Brandon Kregel<\/strong>, has improved the lives of thousands of students and adults. Along with promoting a healthy lifestyle that incorporates disciplined boxing exercise,\u00a0the Feet First program also encourages group discussion topics around perseverance, accountability, and respect.<\/p>\n\u201cIt feels good to be working with a common goal of helping others through the art of boxing,\u00a0and we are proud to team up with a first-class organization like the WBC Cares,\u201d said co-founder\u00a0Sean Sharkey<\/strong>.\u00a0\u201cOur goal is to incorporate this curriculum in schools all over the world and we believe our partnership with the WBC Cares will better broaden our mission for the betterment of students across the globe.\u201d<\/p>\nThe World Boxing Council has crowned an array of some of the most famous world champions, several of whom continue to be household names to this day.
