Fans will have the opportunity to meet our nation’s top freestyle wrestlers and coaches, and celebrate the USA's World Championship and World Cup victories, while helping raise money for a worthy cause.
Proceeds will benefit Beat the Streets Los Angeles and the U.S. Wrestling Foundation programs to grow wrestling. The mission of Beat the Streets Los Angeles is to empower and transform the lives of youth through the sport of wrestling.
