The Dumbo Improvement District has their annual fundraising benefit in an event titled DUMBO Fight Night. The event will be held this Thursday, October 2, 2008 from 6pm at St. Ann’s Warehouse. The funds raised will directly benefit the continued rehabilitation of the Manhattan Bridge Archway. The Dumbo Fight Night is not a typical fundraiser as you’ll be able to experience Dumbo’s talented cultural community, accompanied by USA Boxing Metro sanctioned boxing matches arranged by Gleason’s Gym. Go to dumbonyc.org for more information and tickets for the event or call 718-237-8700.
