Oklahoma Fundraiser Tournament
 The
Islip Wrestling Program is sponsoring a tournament on Saturday June
8th to benefit the victims of the tornados in Oklahoma.
All proceeds from the tournament will go directly to aid the people
of the Oklahoma City area devastated by the storms. People
from all over the country came to our aid during the aftermath of
hurricane Sandy. We would like to "Pay it Forward".
Proceeds will be donated in the name of the Long Island Wrestling
Community. Islip and Long Island has had a long relationship
with many wrestling people from Oklahoma as El Reno traveled to
Islip to compete in the LI Challenge a few years back and Islip was
scheduled to compete there had flights not been cancelled due to
storms. Many Long Island wrestlers travel each year to the
Oklahoma City area to wrestle in the National Junior Duals.
The people of Oklahoma have always been gracious hoists. Now
they need our help.
This will be a good "wrap up"
tournament of "kickoff the summer" tournament for all involved.
The format will be 4 man round robin
pools using HS scratch weights. You will wrestle folkstyle and
freestyle. This is a good lead in to Cadet and Junior summer
freestyle and folkstyle events with new FILA rule modifications
explained.
Click here for the flyer and registration form!
Please help in any way you can.
Competitors, table help, and donations (Private, Corporate or Club)
will all be greatly appreciated. |
