“Guns ‘N Hoses is a great tradition that has always brought the St. Louis community together with all proceeds going to The BackStoppers organization. Presented by the non-profit St. Louis Guns ‘N Hoses Boxing Association, the event is sponsored by Budweiser and Grey Eagle Distributors, the Anheuser-Busch wholesaler in St. Louis County.

The BackStoppers cover St. Louis City,  Missouri counties and some of the Illinois State Police. After a loss of life, The BackStoppers provide money for emergency expenses and later arranges to pay bills, mortgages, debts, college costs and other expenses.  The organization was founded in 1959.Additional information is available on the Budweiser Guns ‘N Hoses Web site, www.stlgunsandhoses.com, on Facebook at http://www.facebook.com/BudweiserGunsAndHoses and Twitter at https://twitter.com/gunsnhosesstl.
