“Takedowns for the Troops”

Takedowns for the Troops

History:  In 2013, Lincoln Southwest Wrestling initiated a community involvement project called “Takedowns for the Troops.”  Our team celebrates this event in conjunction with Senior Night and Alumni Recognition Night.  LSW Wrestling is proud to be the first team in Lincoln to undertake a community involvement event of this magnitude.  Last year, LSW Wrestling was able to raise over $4,000 for the Disabled American Veterans, and since its inception has raised over $24,000 for the DAV.

Below are some of the particulars of our event:

  • “Takedowns for the Troops”
