Wild Bill’s Fight Night 17 – A Fight For Charity
Sunday, December 7th, 2008
Wild Bill’s Fight Night returns December 19. The night of professional and amatuer fights is a “Fight for Charity” where entrance to the event is being paid for in toys. Fight promoter David Oblas arranged the event along with the Marine Corps’ “Toys for Tots” charity to make it difference for children this year as well as to show that mixed-martial-arts gives back to the community.
Entrance to the event can only be earned by dropping off a new unwrapped toy to one of the over thirty designated drop-off points in and around Atlanta. Drop-off locations include Creative Loafing, all Knuckle-Up Fitness Centers, Unit 2 FItness and the HardCore Gym in Athens among others. Each toy deposited to “Toys for Tots” will be exchanged for a ticket voucher to the night’s event.
One highlight of the fight card is the main event featuring an active duty Marine just before his deployment to Iraq and Afghanistan. Darrell Parodi has been in the Marine Corps for five years recently and was stationed in the Atlanta area. Parodi will face Kamrin Naville from Valdosta in the last fight of the night.
