Among the featured fighters will be Old Bethpage resident Matt "The Limo Guy" Silver of Ultimate Class Limousine in Hicksville. At this time, Silver will meet Smithtown resident Scott "The Rocket" Blum, territory manager of Shaw Industries, in the ring and will go punch for punch for three rounds to support local not-for-profit organizations.

"The Fight For Charity is my favorite event of the year. This event has grown exponentially in popularity and is expected to raise a large sum of money this year. This is a unique and fun way to support your community and I would like to thank all of those people who have come out in the past and plan on attending this year," Silver said.

Charities supported by this event include Long Island Community Chest, which will distribute the funds to local charities including the Genesis School, Christa House, Scleroderma Foundation, Pet Peeves, Long Island Works Coalition and Family Residences and Essential Enterprises, Inc.
