Truman Middle School Wrestling Team Pledge Drive
*** Click For Update: 01/25/2013 ***
Our own Kris Ilgavizis and Jonathan Brown are coaches of the Truman Middle School wrestling team this year. So firstly, props to them for making the effort to work with kids. The world needs more and better coaches - they can have an enormous impact on the lives of their athletes. I know for me at that age, my sport coaches had a WAY bigger impact on my life than any teacher or adult other than my parents.
Secondly, there’s a problem. Weirdly a middle school wrestling program is underfunded. They’ve got $83 in their budget, but they’ve got 40+ kids and not enough uniforms for them all. To get their full wish list (headgear, warm-ups, t shirts) it’ll be around $3,000.
Tacoma Strength Challenge
So here’s the challenge. For every dollar a member contributes, Tacoma Strength will match it. We’ve only got until the end of next week (Jan 25th) to do this. Can we raise $1500 in 10 days?
