TEWKSBURY, MA — A man originally from Tewksbury will participate in an upcoming Haymakers for Hope event.

Alex Marcin, 38, is currently working as a regional manager at Red Bull while training for Rock 'N Rumble. He's already exceeded his $50,000 goal, by raising $51,573.

The 13th Annual ‘Rock 'N Rumble’ boxing charity event will be at Boston’s Premier MGM Music Hall in Fenway.

The event will be May 9. Doors open at 6:30 p.m.; boxing matches start at 7:30.

"Thirty-two brave men living and working in the Boston area will compete in boxing matches throughout the night against equally skilled opponents to help raise money for cancer research at the Dana-Farber Cancer Institute and other cancer focused research facilities," according to a press release. "In preparation for fight night, each participating fighter was strategically paired with a boxing gym and coach to guide them through the vigorous four-month training cycle. All participants trained individually and within small intimate groups, learning the fundamentals of the sport, while creating lasting bonds with their trainers and Haymakers for Hope colleagues. The fights are sanctioned by USA Boxing and are scheduled to last for three, three-minute rounds."

Since its inception in 2011, the event has raised more than $25 million for cancer research, awareness, survivorship, and care.
