About Thrilla Gives - a journey that traces its roots back to the transformative power of compassion and unity.

Our narrative commenced in 1991, with the visionaries Alfonso Marino & Tony Rubino. Over the course of two remarkable decades, Thrilla at the Villa evolved from its modest origins into a grand event featuring high-end auctions, thrilling Golden Glove boxing matches, and captivating live entertainment. This exceptional gathering, characterized by the sizzle of gourmet steaks, the excitement of boxing, and the rich aroma of cigars, swiftly emerged as a shining light in our community, raising nearly $4 million for various local charities.

Driven by our mission, "Giving back to our community and leaving a meaningful impact," we evolved from Thrilla at the Villa to Thrilla Gives. Through this vibrant transformation, our horizons expanded to support an even broader spectrum of organizations in our community. Our vision, "One cause, one goal, one community," propels our commitment to elevating those around us and molding a more inclusive, empathetic society.

We take pride in embodying a set of core principles - Community, Innovation, Teamwork, and Passion. These values are interwoven into the essence of Thrilla Gives, serving as guiding tenets that inspire us to strive for more and do more for our community.

Throughout the years, Thrilla Gives has extended its generous outreach, offering support to numerous charitable organizations. From the National Multiple Sclerosis Society to Juvenile Diabetes, Henry Ford Macomb Hospital to Friends of Foster Kids, our influence has touched innumerable lives, generating waves of positive change.

Our success owes much to the boundless support of generous vendors who consistently contributed their products and services over the years. Their collective spirit embodies the soul of Thrilla Gives—a commitment to uplifting those in need and amplifying the strength of unity.

Join us on this exceptional voyage. Together, let's persist in crafting a profound and enduring impact on our community, advocating for a future united in the pursuit of positive transformation.
