Here we go again! Wrestling is growing in participation, especially at the Middle School level, and especially since the girls are being included more and more. In order to help keep these kids in the sport, shoes are one of the largest needs. Here is the deal. If each of us picks one dual, one team to cheer for. Then, donate $1 per team point scored by our pick in that dual, that would be a great increase in the services Jim and Wrestling for Life provide to schools across the country. Help them out, keep them on the mat!

I received this email yesterday. We get them quite frequently and respond as best we can. I need your help if we can continue to support the young people in the sport.

"Good Morning,
I am currently the head coach at (a middle school in Georgia). Your organization donated shoes to our team last year, which made a huge impact on our success. This year we have more than doubled in size & would love to know how we could go about trying to get more shoes donated. We are in a low income area & the need is high this year. Please let us know how we could go about trying to get some shoes for this season. Thanks,"

Tuesday December 3 is Giving Tuesday. Please consider helping these youngsters learn wrestling's life lessons. If you are disciplined enough and can donate at 8:00 AM Eastern Time (7:00 Central, 6:00 Mountain and 5:00 Pacific) your gift may be matched by Facebook. (In the past two years matching funds have been gone in the first 40 minutes). Mark your calendar and set your alarm.
 
Thanks.

No shoes......so I'll send a check instead. :)

Please forgive my tardiness with supporting you in this.

Question? When you buy shoes, can you get them wholesale somewhere?

Would any of the Manufacturers give you a discount or maybe even donate some shoes?

I think Cowboy and GG have both reported previously they have found some good sources for shoe deals, or maybe they're just great shoppers! ;)

I'll sponsor a couple of pairs again when I have a moment.
 
Jim,
Do you need tickets for Sunday? I know kids are free, but do you need some for adult chaperones? I can Fed X you two.

Thanks for the offer, but save your money. I have tickets and, as yet, no one has taken us up on our offer.

As you might imagine, it is a completely different situation with the Ohio State and Penn State meets.

Dropped season tickets (for 1) in the mail today. I kept the Oky St ticket.
