The JK KNOCKOUT brand and the Jackie Kallen Foundation work hand-in-hand to turn athletic passion into social impact. By contributing 10% of gross profits, the brand ensures that every sale supports Jackie’s mission of empowerment and crime prevention.
Here is a look at what the foundation is currently focusing on and what the JK KNOCKOUT brand offers:
The foundation’s core program is often referred to as “Knockout Crime.” It uses the discipline of boxing to reach vulnerable populations.
- Youth Mentorship: The foundation partners with organizations to host events that provide at-risk youth with positive role models. These programs teach the “sweet science” of boxing as a way to build self-esteem and focus.
- “Hit Me With Your Best Shot”: This is Jackie’s signature motivational program. It’s designed to help people—particularly women and those overcoming hardship—develop the mental toughness to “roll with the punches” of life.
- Community Events: They will host “Knockout Evenings,” featuring boxing legends and silent auctions of sports memorabilia to fund local gym programs and provide gear to kids who can’t afford it.

The brand itself is built on Jackie’s decades of experience in the ring. It’s not just about “fitness”—it’s about the fighter lifestyle.
