AS I SEE IT

Pro Wrestling: Between the Sheets
PWBTS.com
With a little over a week to go in the giving season,
wrestling fans have been far and away more generous at any
time in the 10 years that I've been doing these lists of
promotions throughout the United States and Canada helping
their communities for the Holidays.
In all those events, promotions asked fans to do one small
thing. Just "one small thing"....that meant the world to
someone that fan would never meet: one can of soup that
meant someone was fed for a meal....one box of rice that
meant a family was fed for a week or more.... one warm coat
that meant an older person won't shiver uncontrollably when
they walk to the market or a doctor's appointment... one toy
that meant that a child is allowed a moment of innocence and
joy, often the same child who has gone through fear and
deprivation for far too long. One "small thing" that was
anything but small.
So....the promotions held events and gave back to their
community; collecting canned and non-perishable food and
warm clothing, doing fundraisers for homeless or domestic
violence shelters, animal welfare groups, and those with
medical needs...and lots of Toys for Tots drives. They did
it through wrestling shows, Comic-Cons, playing video
games, 10 day marathons sitting on top of a trailer, bowling
parties, online trivia contests, chicken BBQ's, portrait
sittings, Twitch streams, and a dozen other means. Fans
flocked to venues from Juggalo filled theatre halls to
Christian churches to school gyms to bingo halls to rodeo
arenas to a Florida parking lot...from California to Iowa to
Texas to Massachusetts to Georgia... from British Columbia
to Ontario to the Canadian Maritimes...in 31 states and
provinces...and gave and gave and gave.
There have been/are 169 charity shows/events/efforts
announced (or having taken place) so far to help their
communities for the Holidays, collecting donations from fans
like you.
From that list, independent wrestling promotions have raised
so far this year: $367,157.70 in cash donations,
17,247 pounds (that's WELL OVER EIGHT TONS) of
canned and non-perishable food, 26,143 toys; at least
60 winter jackets, 250 backpacks and "tons of school
supplies", 40 blankets, 8 pairs of gloves, a dozen pair of
wool socks, 4 knit hats, over 200assorted "personal
care items"; as well as animal blankets, cat litter, indoor
dry/wet food, cat/dog toys, and unscented baby wipes for
animal rescue groups.
