    Fundraiser for Adam Frey set for August 15

    For anyone that doesn’t know Adam, he lived in Shaler Twp, Pittsburgh and attended Blair Academy becoming the nation's No. 1 recruit out of high school. He attended Cornell University where he qualified for the NCAA tournament in his first two years. He was in a car accident a year ago march and during routine x-rays, they found that Adam had cancer. He has been courageously fighting this dreaded disease since. Adam has a website that follows his trials and tribulations at www.adamfrey.us

    We will be doing a fundraiser for Adam Frey on August Saturday 15 at Canon McMillan High School.

    The first part of the day will be a clinic put on by the WPIAL's own NCAA champions.

    As schedules allow slated are Greg Jones WVU, Robbie Waller Oklahoma, Teague Moore Oklahoma, Troy Letters Lehigh. Again this is tentative as schedules allow them to attend. This will be a hands on clinic for the youngsters with the mats open for workouts and to drill technique.

    Where can you attend a camp for $30 with that kind of STAFF

    From there some of the finest recent WPIAL collegiate wrestlers will be having exhibition matches against each other. Some of the early commitments

    Carl DeCantis Pitt, Troy Dolan Missouri, James Fleming Clarion, Eric Fulmer Mercyhurst, Ethan Headlee Pitt, Jay Ivanco Clarion, Dane Johnson Pitt, Colin Johnston WVU, Brian Letters Maryland. Ian McLaughlin North Carolina, Nick Nelson UVA, Ash Primus Notre Dame, Matt Ryan WVU, Mike Salopek UVA, Josh & Jordan Shields Mercyhurst, Ryan Sula Duquesne, Joe Waltko Clarion, Rob Waltko Bucknell, Shane Welsh Lehigh, Anthony Zanetta Pitt. Still many more contacts out there.

    Admission for the whole day $30 please have the kids bring workout gear.

    For the wrestling only $15

    The schedule will be as follows:

    Doors open at 12:00
    Clinic starts at 12:30
    Clinic runs until 3:30-4:00
    4:00-4:30 break down mats
    4:30 until finished wrestling

    Anyone willing to help we could sure use it, I need sponsors, donations, helpers, concession people.

    T-Shirts will be sold, 50/50, Chinese auctions, and silent auction with great gifts are to be held.

    New Jersey did a great job on 7/12 and raised almost $12,000 for Adam's foundation; Western Pa will not be outdone.
