SNAKE PIT U.S.A. & METHOD MMA, PRESENT:

“GRAPPLING FOR A CURE”

We’re always excited to get on the mats and do all we can to spread REAL Catch/Submission Wrestling, but we’re especially amped about this VERY special event for children that have been stricken by cancer. PLEASE help us take the fight to this disease and help as many families as we can this holiday season.
Thanks to donors like you, families never receive a bill from St. Jude for treatment, travel, housing or food – because all a family should worry about is helping their child live. Treatments invented at St. Jude have helped push the overall childhood cancer survival rate from 20% to more than 80% since it opened more than 50 years ago.

Minimum Donation for Event Registration: $75

THERE IS NO MINIMUM FOR DONATION ONLY!

Additional donations are encouraged and welcomed & ALL proceeds will benefit St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital.
