Camp Anchor partnered with the Tommy Bruhl Foundation to host a charity boxing match in memory of Tommy Gallagher, a camper who died of leukemia.

The event happened in Lido Beach on Monday.

Both organizations work to enhance the lives of people with disabilities.

Gallagher's parents say they are proud to know their son left a mark on his community.

"This is phenomenal," they say. "Camp Anchor is the best place in the world, the wrestling, they've been wonderful, they're like family. Lots of support."

A GoFundMe has been set up in Gallagher's memory to support Camp Anchor.
