VOLUNTEERS MAKE IT HAPPEN!!

The State Championships were most successful by any measurement. These results were only possible through the efforts of over 40 volunteers from the Storm Wrestling Club, Carlisle Wrestling, Iron Eagle Wrestling Club, and Shippensburg University Wrestlers. Those of you who attended were treated to an exceptional menu at the snack bar concession courtesy of Pam Black and her team of volunteers who prepared a large variety of foods for our enjoyment. The Grill Masters were Tony Robinson & Doug Clipp. Tony Robinson also volunteered his butcher shop freezers for the storage of the food. Paul and Kim Weiler shared their nearby home as the food preparation center. Kim also found time to be an Assistant Pairer for the tournament. Lisa Biladeau assisted with the financial logistics throughout the tournament. Shippensburg University head coach, Seth Bloomquest (sbloomqu@state.pa.us) deserves credit for his assistance in the logistics at Heiges Field House. This event would not have been possible without the support of Seth and the University. Your announcer was Gerry Black who summoned the wrestlers to the mats and made sure that the mats were fully utilized throughout the tournament. The backup announcer was Barry Barrick, who was also the tournament director. Barry put together a remarkable team and was the first person there in the morning and the last to leave. Thank you Barry!! Storm wrestling is planning to use any money left over from the event to start a scholarship for wrestlers to attend nationals who otherwise could not afford the expense.

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.
