Local boxer and weight-trainer Juan Nunez has started a new organization called God’s Creations Club to teach anti-bullying programs and to raise funds for charities and nonprofit organizations in Richmond.
Nunez is well known in the community as operator of Juanâs Gym at 12718 San Pablo Ave. in Richmond for ten years.
God’s Creations Club was formed three months ago and serves as an extension to Nunez’s two decades of community volunteerism.
The club has already picked up volunteers and aims to establish itself in Richmond prior to expanding to other parts of the Bay Area, Nunez said. The organization in part wants to help teach and create anti-bullying programs in schools, churches and nonprofits, said Nunez, who adds the club has been in contact with the Oakland Police Department on efforts to help patrol streets in Oakland’s Chinatown to prevent acts of violence and bullying in that community.
