New York, NY, October 26, 2011 --(PR.com)-- Boxer phenom and advocate for foster care children, Rob Garris is the only boxer in history of the sport to return to the ring from the amateur level to professional after 26 years in retirement. Mr. Garris’ sole aim is raising awareness and funds for his foundation which helps those that are adversely affected by the foster care system.
“It is an honor to work with Mr. Garris. He is a true champion, both in and outside of the ring. His passion and dedication to bringing awareness to the issues of homelessness as it relates to our foster care system is second to none and has positioned himself as a leading authority on the subject. Mr. Garris has an astounding track record of service that dates back ten years. Unlike other advocates in the field, Mr. Garris has made the ultimate sacrifice by risking his life fighting at the pro level, all for the sake of bringing attention to the harsh realities of what our children are facing everyday being in the foster care system in America,” said Sports Agent Allen L. Ellison.
About Rob Garris
August 24, 1965 Robert Lee Taylor Jr. was born. At eight months old Rob was placed into the foster care system. He was adopted by Thomas and Virginia Garris of New Rochelle, New York at the age of seven, hence the change in name, Rob Garris. With many years to think about his separation from his biological mother and siblings who were also lost in the system, Mr. Garris would soon discover a desire to fight for other children who shared the same experiences as him. It wasn’t until five years ago that his circumstances became frustrating and more of a passion to him. Rob experienced medical problems that required his medical history, which at the time he was unable to provide. After acquiring medical information about his parents through several hospitals and social service agencies it was later revealed that the state sealed his birth records making it impossible for him to locate his biological family.
Due to the overwhelming issues regarding the foster care system in America, Mr. Garris founded Throwaway Kids Foundation, Inc. in 2004, a not for profit 501(c)3. The purpose and mission of the foundation is to form a coalition across the country to monitor the foster care system and bring changes within the system to protect and support all children in foster care as well as adoptees. Mr. Garris works diligently to assist those who desire to connect with their biological family or who wish to obtain medical and birth records so that they can become familiar with their family history and identity.
