If you're still scrambling for a last-minute Christmas gift, the St. Johns County Sheriff's Office might have you covered. Announced via their social media, tickets for the St. Johns County Fight Night are now on sale and positioned as the perfect gift for those inclined towards action-packed local events. This unique event, scheduled for February 26, 2026, will see local deputies and firefighters duking it out in the ring at St. Augustine Amphitheatre.
Aside from providing some holiday pugilistic entertainment, the event supports a good cause, with its proceeds earmarked for community children, especially those of varying abilities. According to the post by the St. Johns County Sheriff's Office, the raised funds will go to two special charities – The Diamond of Dreams and Special Olympics Florida. The former is a project aiming to construct a playground and ball field for children with special needs, whereas, the latter supports local athletes with intellectual disabilities.
The Amphitheatre, known for hosting a menagerie of events, from concerts to community gatherings, will set the stage for this charitable fray among St. Johns County's bravest. Sporting events such as this one often double as a community binding agent, offering a chance not just to witness sportsmanship, but to actively contribute to local welfare initiatives.
Those interested in having their businesses spar, on the financial support front, that is, should reach out to Corporal Krissie Padgett. Contact can be made via email at [email protected] or by phone, dialing (904) 907-2892. Helping to underpin the charitable aspect of the Fight Night, any sponsorship would bolster the event's capability to make a substantial impact on the lives of local children in need.
