29TH ANNUAL BUDWEISER GUNS ‘N HOSES

Tickets are on sale now for the 29th annual Budweiser Guns ‘N Hoses boxing event benefiting The BackStoppers, a nonprofit organization that assists families of first responders who have died in the line of duty. This year’s event will take place Wednesday, Nov. 25, (Thanksgiving Eve) at 6:30 p.m. at the Scottrade Center.

Guns ‘N Hoses will feature 15 three-round bouts of boxing and mixed martial arts (MMA) matches between police officers, firefighters and emergency medical personnel from Missouri and Illinois. Both male and female fighters are scheduled. Before the opening bell, Guns ‘N Hoses will honor those first responders who lost their lives since January.

Guns ‘N Hoses is presented by the nonprofit St. Louis Guns ‘N Hoses Boxing Association and sponsored by Budweiser and Grey Eagle Distributors, the Anheuser-Busch wholesaler in St. Louis County. Since its inception in 1987, Budweiser Guns ‘N Hoses has raised nearly $5 million to benefit The BackStoppers.
