Manny Dunham

Founded and lead a nonprofit boxing organization that now serves over 400+ active participants across two locations in Ballard and Skyway/Renton, with the majority of members being youth. Programs run five days a week and are built to be culturally responsive and welcoming to people of all backgrounds, including justice-impacted individuals committed to positive change. Coach and develop amateur and aspiring professional boxers, supporting their participation in regional and national tournaments - often the first time youth have traveled outside their communities. Produce major community events such as the annual Bumblebee Box-Off and helping bring the PNW Regional Golden Gloves to Seattle for the first time. Secured and managed public grant funding to expand youth programming, equipment, and capacity, built a community-based coaching and mentorship team, launched the gym as an outdoor pop-up during COVID, and grew it into a two-location community institution.

Deliver one-on-one and group boxing training focused on fitness, technique, and mental toughness, specializing in metabolic training and outdoor bootcamps.
