RAISE MORE FUNDS FOR IWWC
If you feel inspired to raise even more money for IWWC, you can create your own personal fundraising page on our online donation platform. The three women who raise the most money for IWWC using this platform will be recognized at the event.
SHOW UP!
Team up with the coaches and athletes to receive a personal introduction to how an elite wrestler warms up for practice and learn very basic wrestling activities. Feel free to do as much or as little as you are comfortable with (watching is OK, too!) We recommend you wear athletic shoes and comfortable clothing that will allow you to move freely. Bring a water bottle and a change of clothes (you might sweat!). Street shoes are not allowed on the wrestling mats and wrestling shoes of various sizes will be available to use on a first come, first served basis.
“My favorite part of the academy was getting to meet the wrestlers in a one-on-one setting and listening to their stories about what drives them to compete. Not only are they amazing athletes, but they are amazing people.”
