MISSION STATEMENT
Wrestle for Joy Foundation is a nonprofit organization committed to bringing joy, confidence, and unforgettable memories to underprivileged children by immersing them in the world of professional wrestling. From attending live professional wrestling (i.e. WWE, AEW) events to receive official merchandise, action figures, and replica belts, we believe every child deserves a moment to feel like a champion.
THE CHALLENGE
Children in hospitals often face isolation, fear, anxiety, and loss of identity while their families often experience emotional and financial stress. Many therapeutic programs lack connection to children’s passions and interests.
OUR STRATEGY
We have found a vibrant community centered around wrestling. Through themed hospital visits, interactive content creation, experential events, and donation drives we can facilitate meaningful partnerships through brand collaborations, creators, and reoccuring conventions and industry events to uplift those being catered to.
END GAME
The goal is to impact as many children as possible, build long lasting relationship with community and industry partners, and creating opportunity for others to be a part of this effort. In the end its about helping children and their families cut through their adversity one smile, laugh, and joyous interaction at a time.
