Oklahoma Youth Wrestling Foundation

Organization Description: 

The Foundation provides opportunities to wrestle to low-income boys in the OKC area. We also mentor the boys, their sisters and other children from the area weekly throughout the school year. Beginning in the 2011-2012 season, the Warrior's sisters are training for a 5K. At every event and practice, we incorporate character education, Christian principles and motivation to do well in school and life.
