On March 26, 2010 former World Champion boxer Andy Ganigan was brutally assaulted leaving him with permanent brain damage. To help with mounting medical expenses, his friends and family held a fundraiser at Ige's Restaurant in Aiea. The outpouring of support was remarkable, a testiment to the legend and legacy that is Andy Ganigan. I'm so glad that I was able to attend and take a few pictures to share with those who couldn't make it to the event, honoring a fighter who once upon a time brought pride to these islands.
