“Pinning 4 a Purpose” is an idea that the Voorhees High School wrestling coaching staff developed as an opportunity for the Voorhees Wrestling Team to give back to a charitable organization in the local community.\u00a0 The Voorhees Wrestling Team will use their strength, determination, and hard work this year to benefit the Special Olympics of Hunterdon County.\u00a0\u00a0 In looking for an organization to support, they chose the Special Olympics of Hunterdon County since it was a local organization, involves sports, and also helps other kids.<\/p>\n
Pinning is the manner in which the boys win in the sport of wrestling.\u00a0 During the 2010-2011 season, pinning will not only benefit the Voorhees Wrestling Team, but also benefit an organization that needs resources and support.\u00a0 Every time a pin or \u201cfall\u201d is recorded, the pledge that each wrestler has solicited will be donated to the Special Olympics of Hunterdon County.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Voorhees wrestlers have been asking for pledges for each pin they achieve throughout the 2010-11 season.\u00a0 At the end of the season, the total pledge count will be donated, in its entirety, to Special Olympics of Hunterdon County.\u00a0<\/p>\n
To date, the entire team of over 40 boys,\u00a0has compiled over 160 pins and there is still half a season to go!\u00a0\u00a0 Two individuals from the Voorhees Wrestling family fan base has already sponsored each wrestler with an amount of .75 cents per pin.\u00a0 This is in addition to the individual sponsors the wrestlers are getting.\u00a0 The wrestlers are extremely motivated not only to win as a team, but to be a part of our community. \u00a0At this point in time, the team has raised $1,700.<\/p>\n
