Hall of Fame Will Host “Day of Giving: Help Your Hall” October 28
The National Wrestling Hall of Fame will hold its first-ever Day of Giving on October 28.
The 24-hour “Day of Giving: Help Your Hall” fundraising event invites supporters around the world to work together to ensure that the Hall of Fame can fulfill its mission to preserve the history of wrestling, recognize excellence, and inspire future generations.
Donations will be accepted at http://bit.ly/NWHOFDayofGiving. Donations can be made by telephone from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. at (405) 377-5243.
Day of Giving: Help Your Hall begins at midnight Central Time on October 28 and concludes at 11:59 p.m.
Because of the COVID-19 pandemic, the Hall of Fame has experienced a $200,000 shortfall in its operating budget after being forced to close its museums in Stillwater, Oklahoma, and Waterloo, Iowa, and postpone Honors Weekend, Dan Gable Museum events and 24 State Chapter induction ceremonies.
Despite making significant cuts to its operating budget, the financial predicament remains substantial and the Day of Giving: Help Your Hall event comes at a critical time.
“We are in the midst of perhaps the greatest challenge of our time and hope that our supporters are able to help us get off the mat by making donations and helping us spread the word about our Day of Giving: Help Your Hall,” said Lee Roy Smith, Executive Director. “We are confident that our wrestling family will step up and help us continue to perform the vital work necessary to showcase our sport’s benefits and values to those inside and outside the wrestling community.”
Day of Giving: Help Your Hall is a digital and social-media driven campaign and more information will be shared on Facebook, Instagram and Twitter.
