Homage to Genaro Hernandez, great success / Exito el homenaje a Genaro Hernandez

The WBC in coordination with the WBC Legends of Boxing Museum Committee, held a meeting last Saturday January 17th, to pay homage to a great former world champion, who is, without a doubt, one of the most beloved boxers within the world of boxing, as he is a clean, altruistic and exemplary person in every respect, Genaro “Chicanito” Hernandez.

“Chicanito” is currently struggling in a battle against that disease named cancer, but with the heart of a lion, his exemplary optimism and the unity of his family and all the boxing community, we are certain he will achieve victory in this fight.

Dinner served as a means to gather contributions to help his family pay the high cost of the medical treatment he is being given, and the event exceeded all expectations. 500 people got together and enjoyed a very Mexican dinner which was prepared by volunteers of the museum.

The boxing community participated and the event collected nearly USD $ 30,000, taking into account donations, tickets to the dinner and auctioning of very exclusive items. The WBC wants to thank, in a very special way, Dr. Harry Hwang, Jill Diamond, Rudy Tellez, and all the members of the organization committee who were able to make a huge success of this event. Likewise, we wish to thank all those who have sent their donations to WBC Cares or directly to the Hernandez family, very specially.
