Push Ups For A Cause

Wrestling Community Pulls Together To Support Coach Fischbein

This past Saturday Hydra Strength Training in Monroe held a special event, Push Ups For A Cause, to raise funds to help the Fischbein family. Former MW head wrestling coach Steve Fischbein, who now serves as a program assistant, is battling a rare form of cancer. The specialized treatment is creating a financial burden on the family so, as it always does, the wrestling community is stepping up and helping out!

Thank you very much to Hydra Strength Training for hosting the event which was attended by over one hundred people. Below are a few pictures from the event. Special thanks to Lisa Elfstrum for providing many of the below pictures.
