Sponsorship
Pennsylvania
National Teams
need your support.
Each year, PAWF takes several all-star teams
in the various age brackets to the USA Wrestling
National Championship Tournament. Each wrestler
is responsible for raising money to pay for
team travel, uniforms, training camp, and
meals. Each year, we depend on sponsorship
money to help defray costs for these individuals
and help make these trips possible for everyone.
If you are interested in supporting PAWF,
please contact our State Chairman at vanplocus@yahoo.com.
