\"Battle-Badges-2017_1080x1920\"<\/a>TEMECULA, <\/strong>Calif. (February 16, 2017) \u2013 Get ready Southland boxing fans; it\u2019s time for action-packed \u201cBattle of the Badges\u201d boxing! This event will be taking place Saturday, April 1, at 6 p.m. in the Grand Ballroom at Pechanga Resort & Casino in Temecula, Calif. Once again, the men and women of law enforcement, fire protection and other public safety agencies come together in support of the Cops 4 Kids & Communities and other charitable organizations. Tickets for the event are priced at $25 for general admission and $35 for ringside seats.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

This lively showdown will feature 15 bouts between police officers, firefighters, EMTs, correctional officers and armed forces. While the combatants may not be household names in the boxing world, they really give it all they have. With nicknames like \u201cThe Brooklyn Bomber,\u201d \u201cThe Mean Machine,\u201d \u201cChaos,\u201d \u201cT-Bomb,\u201d \u201cBrown Sugar,\u201d and \u201cThe Preacher\u201d you know they take this challenge very seriously.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Boxing is a big part of the Cops 4 Kids & Communities charity. The group has their own youth boxing club and offers many educational, recreational and artistic programs to help empower underprivileged youth in Southern California and beyond. The charity\u2019s motto is, \u201cLet\u2019s reach them before we have to rescue them.\u201d There are countless individuals who have donated their time and services to help these children while becoming positive role models for the kids. Pechanga Resort & Casino has been an invaluable asset to this event for the past six years. Much of the success of this event is attributed to the professionalism and generosity of its members and staff.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Pechanga Resort & Casino is the largest Southern California casino and was voted the #1 casino by USA Today readers. As an all-inclusive resort destination with a larger casino and more slot machines than anywhere in Las Vegas, Pechanga is located in the heart of the Temecula Valley Wine Country.
