      <description><![CDATA[<div class="newsleft"><div class="newsbody"><p class="subheadline">Henry Armstrong’s 75th Anniversary of making boxing history on August 17, 1938.</p><p>Los Angeles, CA -- (<a rel="nofollow" href="http://www.sbwire.com/">SBWIRE</a>) -- 08/16/2013 --  The Henry Armstrong Foundation announced this week that they are appealing to all media, boxing fans, professional boxers, promoters, trainers, commentators and the general public, for their support; in honoring Undisputed Three Time World Champion Boxer Henry Armstrong&apos;s 75th Anniversary of making boxing history at Madison Square Garden winning a split decision against Lou Amber for the lightweight championship of the world on August 17, 1938.<br />
<br />
Funds raised will be used in Armstrong&apos;s honor to feed the homeless men, women and children on Los Angeles&apos; Skid Row, through the Midnight Mission, an organization that was very dear to my grandfather&apos;s heart, and Feed The Children organization, along with providing scholarships to underprivileged high school senior students and incentive gifts for our positive thinking mentoring youth program.  All donations are fully tax deductible.<br />
<br />
Edward Scott, Jr., grandson and founder of the Henry Armstrong Foundation commented, "I&apos;m so glad my Granddad did not get discouraged after getting knocked out in the third round in his first professional fight. His determination not to give up in spite of his circumstances is one of the things I admired about him. Case in point, he swallows his own blood for six rounds to win that third title from Lou Ambers and make boxing history on August 17, 1938. To date, he is the only boxer in boxing history to hold three world boxing titles simultaneously, in three different weight divisions within a 10-month period during 1938".<br />

      <title>Heavyweight Great Henry Tillman Joins the Fight for the Underprivileged</title>
      <link>http://www.releasewire.com/press-releases/release-3.htm</link>
      <description><![CDATA[<div class="newsleft"><div class="newsbody"><p class="subheadline">The Henry Armstrong Foundation is pleased to welcome former heavyweight contender Henry Tillman aboard as an Honorary Board Member.</p><p>Los Angeles, CA -- (<a rel="nofollow" href="http://www.releasewire.com/">ReleaseWire</a>) -- 02/07/2013 --  Tillman, a 1984 U.S. Olympic Gold Medalist, was asked by Foundation President and Henry Armstrong&apos;s grandson Edward Scott Jr. to take part in a float celebrating the 100th birthday of the pound-for-pound great at the Martin Luther King Jr. Parade in Los Angeles on January 19th. <br />
<br />
Tillman was pleased to accept the opportunity to honor a boxing legend and help in bringing awareness to a great cause. <br />
 <br />
"Out of respect for Henry Armstrong, an all-time great fighter, I said it would most definitely be an honor," recalls Tillman. <br />
 <br />
The Henry Armstrong Foundation would like to thank Mr. Tillman for the generosity of his time and looks forward to partnering again in the near future. <br />
 <br />
"Together, we will achieve the goals we aim to reach," says Tillman. <br />
 <br />
The Henry Armstrong Foundation maintains several outreach programs, including a scholarship program, and partners with adopted non-profit organizations Feed the Children and The Midnight Mission, as well as other established non-profit organizations dealing with the plight of hunger and at-risk youth. <br />
 <br />
The Henry Armstrong Foundation is proud to introduce the "Positive Thinking Mentoring Youth Learning Program" which is designed to mentor and recondition the minds of the youth by educating and empowering young kids on the importance of positive thinking, visualizing and the wonderful use of the imagination by reading biblical principles books. The Foundation is currently in need of mentor volunteers and donations in order to make the program a success.<br />

      <title>28th Annual Martin Luther King Jr. Kingdom Day Parade</title>
      <link>http://www.releasewire.com/press-releases/release-3.htm</link>
      <description><![CDATA[<div class="newsleft"><div class="newsbody"><p class="subheadline">Boxing Champions honor Henry Armstrong in Kingdom Day Parade.</p><p>Los Angeles, CA -- (<a rel="nofollow" href="http://www.releasewire.com/">ReleaseWire</a>) -- 02/07/2013 --  On January 19th, the Henry Armstrong Foundation participated in the 28th Annual Martin Luther King Jr. Kingdom Day Parade in Los Angeles, Calif. with the help of numerous sponsors and professional fighters past and present. <br />
<br />
The parade was televised locally by ABC 7 and Edward Scott, Jr., founder of the Henry Armstrong Foundation as well as Armstrong&apos;s grandson, was able to pull together a magnificent float in a short amount of time.<br />
<br />
Participants included current WBO middleweight champion Peter Quillin, who trains at LA&apos;s Wild Card Gym and shares an ironic connection to the all-time great Armstrong. Before becoming a multi-divisional world champion, Armstrong was homeless and penniless and sought shelter from the Midnight Mission in Skid Row in Los Angeles. Before becoming world champion, Quillin himself was broke and sleeping on a mattress he found in an alley in New York. As well, the original Kid Chocolate was the inspiration to Armstrong to become a professional fighter when he read on a flyer how much Chocolate was making for a prizefight.<br />
<br />
Another participant was former heavyweight contender Henry Tillman, who defeated Mike Tyson twice in the amateurs. Tillman and Quillin signed a number of items that will be auctioned off at a later date in order to raise money for the Foundation, including a commemorative Henry Armstrong 100th birthday glove as well as a commemorative t-shirt.<br />
<br />
Also participating was James Brock, a professional fighter with a modest record but one who has great ties to south central Los Angeles where the parade took place. Brock is from Crenshaw, which was the longest stretch of road in the parade. Many observers of the parade recognized Brock as a local.<br />
<br />
The float couldn&apos;t have come together without the help of a number of sponsors, particularly boxing governing body the World Boxing Council as well as premium cable network EPIX Sports, who has recently gotten into the fight game with great success. Also contributing as sponsors were Sacramento based boxing promoter OPP Presents headed by Osric Pratt, who was on the float. Dream Vision Realty and Sweetwater Printing Inc. rounded out the list of sponsors who made it possible.<br />
<br />
Maxboxing.com&apos;s Radio Rahim conducted an interview with Quillin about the MLK Parade as well as his upcoming fight with Fernando Guerrero, which was to take place on Feb. 9th but has now been moved to Apr. 27th when main event participant Danny Garcia suffered an alleged training injury. The video can be seen here: <a class="extlink"  rel="nofollow noopener"  target="_blank"  title="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MtSY5Ik6ogc" href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MtSY5Ik6ogc">http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MtSY5Ik6ogc</a><br />
<br />
The Henry Armstrong Foundation would like to thank all who contributed to the process, it couldn&apos;t have come off the way it did without their help. Look out for the Henry Armstrong Foundation&apos;s future programs which will be announced in a future press release.<br />

<br />
The Henry Armstrong Foundation announced this week that they are appealing to all media, boxing fans, professional boxers, promoters, trainers, commentators and the general public, for their support; in honoring Undisputed Three Time World Champion Boxer Henry Armstrong&apos;s 100th Birthday.<br />
<br />
Funds raised will be used in Armstrong&apos;s honor to feed the homeless men, women and children on Los Angeles&apos; Skid Row, through the Midnight Mission, an organization that was very dear to my grandfather&apos;s heart, and Feed The Children organization, along with providing scholarships to underprivileged High School Senior students. All donations are fully tax deductable.<br />
<br />
Edward Scott, Jr., grandson and founder of the Henry Armstrong Foundation commented, "What isn&apos;t widely known is that there was a time in his life before he achieved championship status when circumstances rendered him homeless, penniless, and in need of basic sustenance, he sought refuge and support from The Midnight Mission in downtown Los Angeles. Mr. Armstrong utilized the services extended to him in the winter of 1930, and went on to achieve a life of great personal success, as well as being of tremendous service to others. We are very grateful to The Midnight Mission."<br />
<br />
The scholarships were implemented to honor Mr. Armstrong who had a dream of attending medical school, but lacked the financial resources. As an alternative, he decided to pursue boxing as a career and rose to the top.<br />
<br />
To date, he is the only boxer in boxing history to hold three world boxing titles simultaneously, in three different weight divisions within a 10-month period during 1938. <br />
<br />
His wishes were to continue empowering youth to realize their dreams. As a result, in the memory of Henry Armstrong, the scholarships are designed to help eliminate financial boundaries for High School Seniors who want to attend college and to promote more equal opportunity in college attendance.<br />
