Palmetto Boxing Helps
Raise $2,700 for Josh Torrence Memorial
November 12, 2007 |

Palmetto Boxing
held a fundraising auction at the past Fall Bawl 2 boxing event to
help raise funds for the Joshua L. Torrence Memorial Foundation.
Joshua from Lexington, South Carolina was an Untied States Marine
deployed to Iraq. Sadly, he lost his life while on patrol in March.
Because of their love of Joshua, and their gratitude of his service
and sacrifice, members of the White Knoll High School Community
started a campaign to raise $150,000 dollars necessary to name the
high school’s new field house in Joshua’s honor. The students
reached their goal with a last minute anonymous donation. Senator
John McCain joined in a dedication ceremony on Friday, November 2,
2007 in honoring the memory of Lance Corporal Joshua L. Torrence.
Palmetto Boxing helps raise $2,700 dollars in their efforts to
support this worth while cause.
