Chicago, IL —Friday July 25th, 2025- A powerful alliance between Bonita Payments founder Elliott Forman and youth boxing nonprofit The Bloc is set to inspire Chicago’s next generation—one punch at a time.
A community empowering event taking place on Monday, July 28 at The Bloc Chicago gym.
Led by former professional boxer and acclaimed businessman Elliott Forman in collaboration with The Bloc Chicago, the initiative aims to inspire, mentor, and uplift young people from across the city. The event will feature motivational remarks from Forman, and insight designed to equip youth with discipline, resilience, and the mindset needed to thrive in and out of the ring. Forman is also donating equipment to the program.
“Boxing taught me how to fight for my dreams—not just in the ring, but in business and in life,” said Elliott Forman. “Through this partnership with The Bloc, we want to show Chicago’s youth that with the right support, they can ‘knock out’ any challenge and shape their own futures.”
The Bloc Chicago has long been a beacon of hope for city youth, using boxing as a platform to build confidence, provide mentorship, and encourage academic achievement. Together with Elliott Forman, The Bloc aims to expand its reach and deepen its impact on the next generation of leaders.
