The City of Springfield License Commission approved a one-day all-alcohol permit June 25 for an indoor Massachusetts State Police boxing fundraiser scheduled Aug. 16 at Central City Boxing and Bridal Inc., 355 Berkshire Avenue. The permit is for a 21-and-over indoor event from 5 p.m. to 11:59 p.m.

Organizer Dean Fay described the event as a fundraiser for a youth development program he runs and said he has a youth program with “just over a 100 kids” that relies on fundraising. Fay said the event will use four committed waitstaff who are TIP-certified and one TIP-certified bartender. He also said the event will hire two uniformed Springfield police officers for security and will have a “large presence” of state police in support.

Commissioners asked about details of police presence and staffing; Fay said two uniformed Springfield officers are traditionally hired for the event and state police personnel will attend in support. The commission moved to approve the one-day permit; the motion passed with all commissioners voting yes.

The approval authorizes alcohol service for the specified date and hours and records manager and server certifications as presented to the commission.
