This event celebrates a great venue, the Lime Lite Boxing and Fitness Center in Columbia Heights. Lime Lite is not just a gym for everyday workouts. They operate as a non-profit 501(c)3 and feature specific leadership and achievement based programming for both youth and adults. Last year a group of filmmakers documented one of participants of the programs, Malik Jackson, in a great short film.
The filmmakers and others are throwing a benefit for Lime Lite tomorrow, Tuesday June 11. They will screen the film at The Coupe - 3415 11th Street NW about 4 blocks from the Columbia Heights Metro station. There will be raffled prizes from local businesses and a Q&A session after the screening. The film is awesome, I'm attending for that aspect alone.
