Come out and meet Flint’s world champion boxer Claressa Shields and have your children participate in the largest Easter Egg hunt in the Flint area.
The fifth annual event is scheduled for 10 a.m. Saturday, March 30 at the Community Park on the corner of Neff and Coldwater roads in Mt. Morris Township.
There will be 600 eggs hidden and those who find a golden egg will win one of 30 available bikes.
Every toddler will receive a gift at the free event.
The Greater Beecher Business Association is holding the Easter egg hunt in partnership with Shields and @Fitness.
Anyone who would like to donate a bike is asked to contact Dave Korrey at 989-277-8730 or Tony Tucker at 810-309-4446.
Last month, Shields made history, but in another sport as she made her return to mixed-martial arts.
The 29-year-old earned a split decision win over Kelsey De Santis in the first professional female MMA bout held in Saudi Arabia.
Shields, a two-time Olympic gold medalist, improved to a 2-1 record as a professional MMA fighter.
The bout was a rebound for Shields who suffered a loss against Abigail Montes in October 2021 in her second-ever MMA bout.
Her boxing record stands at 14-0 with two knockouts. Shields is recognized as the undisputed middleweight champion and No. 1 pound-for-pound fighter in women’s boxing, according to both Ring Magazine and ESPN.
