WHY: It’s hilarious and you can feel good about raising money for charity!
COST: Tickets $5 at the door! Plus everyone is encouraged to bet on their favorite wrestler each round. In every round, the person who bets the most on the winning wrestler will receive a prize. All the betting money goes to charity.
WHO IS THIS FOR: The D.C. Firefighters Burn Foundation is a non-profit founded by active and retired Washington, D.C. Firefighters. Their mission is to prevent burns and improve the quality of life for burn survivors through programs, education and research. Every summer the Foundation sends burn survivors to a week-long summer camp. The program is offered to any young burn survivor ages 8-18 in the Washington Metropolitan Area at no cost and includes transportation along with the supervision of a burn nurse and a firefighter.
