On Saturday, April 8th at about 9:30pm, the East Hartford Hornets Varsity Wrestling team decided to start up a GoFundMe page to raise a total goal of $2,000 for championship rings. In the first hour of donations, the team nearly raised about $700! As the night rolled along, the total amount of money raised the next morning was $1800. 15 minutes later, the goal of $2000 was achieved.
The team’s goal is to get everyone a ring. It was truly a team effort to accomplish what we’ve accomplished, from the bottom of the roster all the way to the top. Since achieving their donation goal, people have still been donating to the programs cause, such as former East Hartford wrestlers and East Hartford residents. The team stated, “All money donated after the goal has been reached will go back to the teams account”. Meaning that money will be pushed for next years season for things like warm-ups and hotel rooms.
As of today, the wrestling team currently sits at a total of $3325, and are currently still accepting donations as we speak until 8pm tonight (Wednesday).
UPDATE - 4/13/22 @ 8:19PM est: Because of todays “high activity”, the GoFundMe page will be extended from 8pm tonight to 8pm FRIDAY night.
