The late King Pele, one of the world’s most loved athletes once said; “Success is no accident. It is hard work, perseverance, learning, studying, sacrifice and most of all, love of what you are doing or learning to do.”
That statement rings true for the Forgotten Youth Foundation, a boxing gym aptly named for the section of society it represents and shelters, nurtures and guides.
FYF as it is affectionately known by those in the boxing fraternity was established circa 1997 and was housed at a building on the corner of James and Albert streets in Albouystown. Since its inception, it has been home to the community’s youth, eventually extending its arms to young people of many other communities in and out of Georgetown.
