Russian Dual-----Tickets For Kids

Subject: Russian Dual-----Tickets For Kids

 

Friends of Wrestling,

 

You know that I try not to bother you more than once a week, but there are some news items to cover. First, thanks to the kindness of Eric Betterman from theopenmat.com, Tickets for Kids now has a website and the ability to receive online donations. Eric's work is just another example of a member of the wrestling community pitching in for the sport. Thank you.

Regular blog readers know that Al Bevilacqua is one of my role models. He has inspired me to get off my butt and do whatever I can to help wrestling. Al has asked to make the USA vs Russia freestyle dual meet a Tickets for Kids event and we have done so. That's the subject of this extra blog.

Speak with a U.S. World Team member during the Living the Dream Medal Fund LIVE TELETHON on Friday night

By Gary Abbott USA Wrestling
08/18/2010

The wrestling community will have a unique opportunity to speak with one of the 2010 U.S. World Team athletes or coaches when they call in for the Living The Dream Medal Fund Telethon & Benefit Webcast on Friday, August 20.

A first-of-its-kind event, this will be broadcast on TheMat.com and Flowrestling.com live from the U.S. Olympic Training Center from 9:00 p.m. – 11:00 p.m. Eastern time.

This gives fans a way to directly connect with the athletes and coaches that will represent them at the World Championships and support their Olympic dreams with a donation.

The U.S. World Team members in all three Olympic styles and their coaches will take calls from supporters of the fund, after a day of intense training as they go through their final preparation for the 2010 World Wrestling Championships in Moscow, Russia. Sept. 6-12.

The event will be hosted by USA Wrestling broadcast host Jason Bryant, along with Al Bevilacqua, chairman of the Living the Dream Medal Fund project. There will be many special features on this broadcast, which will be a fun and exciting presentation.

Featured on the webcast will be stand-up comic Greg Warren, a past NCAA All-American from Missouri. Greg has been on the stand-up circuit for several years and has a large following. He has been a sensation on Flowrestling with the character Wesley "Wes" Wesley.

The Living the Dream Medal Fund was established to substantially increase the financial rewards for U.S. wrestlers who win Olympic and World medals during this four-year Olympic cycle.

The Living The Dream Medal Fund Telethon & Webcast is a first for USA Wrestling, and is a unique opportunity within the U.S. Olympic family. Once again, the wrestling community is showing its leadership in finding new ways to enhance the sport and support its athletes.

ALL proceeds go directly to the Living The Dream Medal Fund. USA Wrestling will provide the webcast free on its Ustream channel and on the front page of TheMat.com and Flowrestling.com.

Mark your calendar for this Friday, August 20 and join our nation’s World Team members as they greet the wrestling community directly and thank them for their support.
