Friday night was one for the books - and the heart.

The energy was electric at Grechy’s Battle of the Businesses, where local legends from across the Illawarra laced up the gloves and stepped into the ring - not just for glory, but for a great cause.

This year, Grechy’s Boxing Gym chose Amarli Army as the charity beneficiary of the event, with proceeds going directly toward our Lead Truck Bid in the 2025 i98FM Illawarra Convoy.

And wow - what a night it was !

From the first bell to the final cheer, the atmosphere was filled with courage, community spirit, and a whole lot of heart. Business owners, tradies, and everyday locals gave it their all in the ring, showing not only their physical strength but the incredible strength of our local community when we come together for something bigger than ourselves.

💛 What This Means for Amarli Army

Funds raised from Friday’s event bring us one step closer to leading the Convoy - and shining a spotlight on children like Amarli Broome, who face rare and complex challenges every day with extraordinary resilience.

To have Grechy’s Gym, a long-time major supporter of Convoy, throw their weight behind our cause this year means more than words can express.

As Jade Broome (Amarli’s mum) shared on the night:

“When I first heard Amarli Army would be the chosen cause, I was honestly lost for words. It means the world to us. Your support doesn't just help our family - it helps many others navigating the unknown.”

🙌 Huge Thanks to:-

• Grechy’s Boxing Gym – for their leadership, passion, and ongoing community commitment.

• Every business and brave contender who stepped into the ring.

• The supporters, sponsors, volunteers, and fans who turned up and cheered loud and proud.

  
  

💥 What’s Next ?

This was just the beginning. The Amarli Army has a big few months ahead as we push toward our Convoy goals, rally more supporters, and continue raising awareness and funds for rare disease research and family support.

Together, we fight for kids like Amarli. One step, one round, one incredible night at a time.#AmarliArmy #GrechysBattleOfTheBusinesses #ConvoyForKids #IllawarraConvoy #LeadTruckBid
