A charity raffle at The Queensbury Boxing League event on Saturday, June 18, will raise funds for the Advance Centre in East Grinstead. The charity helps support children with brain injuries and was founded by Linda Scotson after her son Doran was born with severe problems 32 years ago.
Event promoter Alan Foley said he was very keen to support local charities.
He said: "We've supported the Advance Centre before, we like to support charities local to the town."
The auction will also feature prizes including a BMW for the day and gloves signed by boxer Kevin Mitchell.
Mr Foley, from East Grinstead, works with former boxer and Dormansland resident Ross Minter to put on boxing matches between experienced amateur fighters and support local causes.
The event on Saturday, June 18, will be held at Effingham Park Hotel in Copthorne.
