From an email:

Please help us get the word out about our fourth event where we hope to raise even more money for N Street Village a community of empowerment and recovery for homeless and low-income women in Washington, D.C. With comprehensive services addressing both emergency and long-term needs, N Street Village helps women achieve personal stability and make gains in their housing, income, employment, mental health, physical health, and addiction recovery.  Please visit http://www.nstreetvillage.org for more information about this deserving group.

Come out to enjoy the antics and celebrate the smackdowns as an array of wrestlers wrangle for the coveted Golden Bicep, all while raising money for N Street Village.  Wrestling this bout will be Princess “Lay-Ya” Down, Scarlett O’Scara, Top Guns, Aussie Osbourne, Rosie the Ravager, Bocce Balboa, Rainbow Blight and Black and Deck Her.  Amy Smackhouse, Holly Go Fightly and Armed and Dangerous will also be in the house so who knows what could happen!

WHEN: Saturday, June 11th  at 7:30 pm

WHERE: American Legion Post 8 on Capitol Hill—conveniently located a few blocks from Capitol South metro stop at 224 D Street, SE.

WHY: It’s hilarious, and you can feel good about raising money for charity!  Plus the drinks are strong and cheap at the Legion!

HOW MUCH WILL THIS COST ME: Tickets $5 at the door!  Plus everyone is encouraged to bet on their favorite wrestler each round.  The individual who bets the highest amount on the winning wrestler wins a prize that round.  All the betting money goes to charity.

The ladies arm wrestling movement is sweeping the nation. Watch this kickstarter campaign video to see lady arm wrestlers form around the country.
