February 2014, Long Island, NY – Glen Cove Boxing Club (GCBC) is set to host the 87th Annual Daily News Golden Gloves on Thursday, March 27th at Glen Cove High School in Glen Cove. A portion of the proceeds raised from this event will be donated to Moms Who Kick Inc, a 501(c)(3) public charity that benefits breast & ovarian cancer research, and promotes healthy lifestyles.
