Boxing out of: Topeira

Todd chose to support EmpowerPups because he wants to help veterans and first responders experience the life-changing companionship of a service puppy. Through his fundraising, he hopes to provide programs like seizure alert, diabetic alert, and service dog preparatory training for those in need.

Did you know that more than 20% of U.S. veterans experience PTSD, depression, or anxiety, and trained service dogs can significantly improve mental health and daily functioning? EmpowerPups honors and serves veterans and emergency responders by pairing them with puppies that bring hope, independence, and support.

Todd is fighting so that veterans and first responders have access to trained service dogs that empower their lives.

🥊 Introducing UTF X Athlete: Ethan Eckhard

Fighting for: Second Wind Fund

Boxing out of: The Corner Boxing Club

Ethan chose to support Second Wind Fund, a cause that is deeply personal to him after facing his own struggles with depression and understanding how isolating it can feel. He’s stepping into the ring to help make sure youth have access to support, connection, and care when they need it most.

For too many kids and teens, the hardest battles are the ones no one else can see. That reality is reflected in a difficult statistic: su***de is the leading cause of death for youth ages 10–24 in Colorado. That’s why organizations like Second Wind Fund matter so deeply. They promptly connect youth with local, specialized therapists, offer a choice in providers, cover the cost of therapy, and provide connection and hope when navigating life’s hardest moments.

Ethan is fighting to help youth find their second wind — a reminder that even in the hardest moments, support is out there and brighter days are still ahead.
