Support us with your contribution!

Today, 1 in 150 individuals is diagnosed with Autism, a condition that was almost unheard of just a few years ago, and the incidence is ever increasing.
Here are the facts about autism.

Our mission is to bring the collective strength of the wrestling community together in this battle that must be fought and won immediately.By creating wrestling tournaments and other athletic activities for the cause, we also engage our youth in giving back to the community. In addition, those who have not seen the outstanding character and strength that is the people of wrestling, gain an understanding of our great sport, and how invaluable it is in the lives of those who participate.

Funds raised by our efforts thus far have been contributed to:

The Ethan Foundation For Autism, who provides summer camp programs for children with autism
Autism Speaks, a group that is committed to changing the future for all who struggle with autism spectrum disorders
Neighborheart, who provides "Quality of Life" grants to families who struggle with autism
Surfers Healing, who provides the adventure of surfing to children with autism
The Global Autism Project , who provide educational resources for children on the autism spectrum in developing countries.
