Leading by Example: Richard Ortiz’s “Champion Student” Program
With passion and purpose, Richard Ortiz launched the “Champion Student” program—an inspiring initiative that rewards students who make positive choices. From raising their grades to graduating early, each student is celebrated with pride and honored with a WBC championship belt.
Moreover, this program goes beyond recognition; it inspires others. Wearing the belt, these students become role models in their schools, encouraging peers to follow their lead. The pride on their faces speaks volumes about the impact of this gesture.
Finally, Richard shared: “I did my best to make them feel special as Champion Students. Thank you WBC Cares.” His words reflect a powerful truth: boxing values can shape lives far beyond the ring, uplifting young people to believe in their potential.
