Perth's corporate elite traded boardrooms for boxing gloves last Saturday night in a spectacular display of philanthropy, as the Corporate Boxing Event (CBE) 2025 smashed its fundraising goals.
The iconic Crown Grand Ballroom was transformed into a pulsating stadium for the evening, with the event successfully raising more than $210,000 for a vital cause supporting young Western Australians.
Knocking Out Mental Health Stigma
The high-energy, charity-focused evening united leaders from Western Australia's powerhouse mining and resources sector, all lacing up for a common goal.
Every dollar raised is directed to Strong Minds Strong Schools, an organisation delivering evidence-based mental health programs across the state.
These crucial initiatives are designed to equip WA students with the practical tools they need to build lifelong resilience, foster emotional wellbeing, and strengthen their community connections.
The Future of Corporate Boxing in Perth
The resounding success of this year's event has already sparked plans for an even bigger showdown in 2026.
Organisers have announced that next year's headline bout will feature a thrilling face-off between Raleigh Finlayson of Genesis Minerals and Michael Finnegan of Macmahon, setting the stage for another monumental fundraising effort.
The 2025 event demonstrated Perth's unwavering commitment to community investment, proving that the corporate sector can pack a powerful punch for charity.
