🥊 Prevail Foundation Proudly Sponsors the Sweet Pea Whitaker Annual Classic

Honoring a Legend. Empowering the Future.


We are proud to announce that Prevail Foundation is an official sponsor of the Sweet Pea Whitaker Annual Classic, a powerful community boxing event held in honor of the late, great Pernell “Sweet Pea” Whitaker — a hometown hero, Olympic gold medalist, and one of the greatest defensive fighters in boxing history.


More than just a tournament, the Sweet Pea Classic represents the spirit of perseverance, discipline, and community. It’s about legacy — and the young fighters stepping into the ring aren’t just chasing medals. They’re carrying dreams, representing neighborhoods, and learning the values of hard work, respect, and resilience.


At Prevail Foundation, we believe in those values.

We believe in the power of youth development, positive mentorship, and providing real opportunities for young people to grow. That’s why we support events like this — because they create safe, empowering spaces where futures can be shaped one round at a time.


💯 All Proceeds Go Where They Matter


We want to be clear: Prevail Foundation is proud to sponsor this event, but we do not receive any proceeds.

All funds raised will go directly to the Whitaker Family and Powerhouse Boxing Gym, supporting youth boxing programs and keeping Sweet Pea’s legacy alive in the very city he loved.


🥇 Why It Matters


Boxing has always been more than a sport — it’s been a lifeline for many. For generations, gyms like Powerhouse have offered structure, mentorship, and brotherhood.

By supporting the Sweet Pea Classic, we’re not just celebrating a legend — we’re investing in the next one.


👏 Join Us in the Stands


This event isn’t just for fight fans — it’s for families, educators, business owners, and anyone who believes in building up the next generation.

So pull up, cheer loud, and be part of something bigger than boxing.


Let’s celebrate greatness, support community, and keep Sweet Pea’s legacy swinging.

✊ Why We Founded Prevail Foundation: From Vision to Impact

By Reginald Prevail • March 28, 2022
 At the heart of Prevail Foundation is a simple belief: when you invest in people, communities rise. Founded by entrepreneur, investor, and philanthropist Reggie Prevail , Prevail Foundation was born out of a deep personal commitment to give back — not just with words, but with real resources, time, and leadership. Reggie didn’t start Prevail Foundation for recognition. He started it because he knows what it feels like to come from a place with talent, heart, and ambition — but not always the access. He built a successful path in business and investing, but never lost sight of the communities that shaped him. Through Prevail Foundation, he’s making sure those communities have the tools, guidance, and support to prevail, too. 🧭 A Mission Rooted in Equity Prevail Foundation was created to close gaps — the kind that separate potential from opportunity. Whether it’s a young person needing mentorship, a family lacking access to technology, or a future entrepreneur with hustle but no roadmap — we’re here to bridge the divide. We invest in youth development , leadership training , digital equity , and entrepreneurship , because these aren’t just buzzwords — they’re lifelines. 💼 Privately Funded. Publicly Committed. What makes Prevail Foundation different? Most of our work is personally funded by Reggie and supported through companies within the Prevail Ventures portfolio. That means we move differently — no red tape, no gatekeeping. Just focused, community-first investment that meets people where they are. 🔥 Built to Last This foundation isn’t about charity. It’s about legacy . It’s about long-term infrastructure for real change. It’s about rewriting the narrative — from scarcity to possibility. “I started Prevail Foundation because I never wanted talent to go unnoticed, potential to go unsupported, or communities to feel forgotten.” – Reggie Prevail If you’ve ever had someone believe in you before you believed in yourself, you understand what this work is about. And if no one ever did, we hope Prevail Foundation will be that for someone else. Learn more. Get involved. Or just keep cheering us on. Either way, we’re just getting started. Learn More →
