Support the Jaffe Family!

On the morning of March 1st the Jaffe family lost a father, husband and family man to a devastating heart attack. The wrestling community lost a friend and advocate particularly for the sport of girls wrestling.
 

Josh is leaving behind two of the most amazing children and wrestlers. Haylie is a USA Wrestling World Bronze Medalist having competed just this past summer in Turkey. She also has a Pan American Championship under her belt that she earned a few years back in Mexico. She has numerous state and national titles to her credit and is the #1 135lb girl in the country (#8 P4P). Haylie is preparing to win her 4th straight and first official Pennsylvania state championship.


Zack to his own credit is only a sophomore at Kennett and already has amassed well over 60 wins in his short career. He was a state qualifier as a freshman and is on his way to repeat that effort this season.


Everyone that knew Josh knew that he put his kids and his family first. Josh did everything for his children and that part of their life is now lost forever.


The wrestling community is a strong, close and amazing family and we are hoping that during this difficult time they will rise up again to support this amazing Pennsylvania Wrestling family.

There will be numerous expenses and bills coming the families way in the coming months and Zack and Haylie as well will have fees associated with training, travel, etc.
