March 22, 2025 – Peelbergen, The Netherlands
Last Friday evening, Peelbergen Equestrian Centre was the stage for an inspiring night of sports and solidarity during the first-ever Gladiators Boxing Gala Horst aan de Maas. This remarkable event successfully raised an impressive €66,650 for the future children’s hospice Kwatro.
The evening featured a series of thrilling boxing matches where local entrepreneurs, as well as Mayor Ryan Palmen and Alderman Roy Bouten, stepped into the ring for a good cause. In an electrifying atmosphere, they faced off against local opponents, all united by a shared goal: raising as much money as possible for Kwatro.
A Beacon of Hope for Seriously Ill Children
Kwatro, set to be established on Venrayseweg in Horst, aims to bring light and comfort to seriously ill children and their families. Thanks to generous contributions from sponsors and donors, both in the venue and from home, the hospice is now one step closer to becoming a reality.
Proud to Support the Community
Peelbergen Equestrian Centre is proud to have hosted such a successful first edition of the gala. Ken Ruysen, Event Director at Peelbergen, highlighted the importance of this initiative: “We are incredibly proud to have facilitated this event and to contribute to such a meaningful cause in our region. This event showcases the strength of our community when we come together for a greater purpose.”
With an outstanding result and an inspiring atmosphere, we are already looking forward to a potential follow-up of the Gladiators Boxing Gala. Peelbergen Equestrian Centre remains committed to supporting initiatives that have a positive impact on the region and its residents.
