Challenge Match - If every wrestler in Kansas can send $5 or $10 to one of the organizations below – we will be teaching our kids a far more important life lesson. We have over 5,400 kids in USAWKS – kids. That does not include high school and college wrestlers and coaches. The earthquake has taken the businesses, homes, lives in an area of 3 million people or greater. It is estimated that thousands to hundreds of thousands of people have died and many more are injured.

OLATHE, Kan. -- Heart To Heart International is mobilizing its staff and volunteers to provide aid packages to send to Haiti in the wake of Tuesday's devastating earthquake .
The organization has been around since 1992 and has responded to nearly every international disaster. Wednesday morning volunteers were putting together the care packages full of basic medical care.
On the first shipment the group will send enough supplies for 50,000 to 60,000 people. Inside the kits are first aid and hygiene supplies with things like bandages, surgical gloves, syringes, blood pressure cuffs and rubbing alcohol, among other supplies.
Heart To Heart said its plan is to get everything shipped out by Wednesday night or Thursday morning. Organizers said they work all year long collecting supplies so they can help when disasters occur.
"One of the things you want to do is fight germs," Heart To Heart's Pete Brumbaugh said. "You don't want a disease epidemic to take out even more people, so we will be sending those things today or tomorrow."
Heart To Heart said it is looking for donations and volunteers, for more information, click here.

This hits close to home in more ways then one as one of our wrestlers here at Neosho is a son of Haitian immigrants. As of yesterday he knew of 3 relatives back in Haiti that had died in the earthquake (may be more pending searches). He is a very optomistic kid and has a strong faith base that along with wrestling is keeping him busy and helping him to cope with the loss.

Aaron, this is Whetstone, let the kid know he and his fam are in our prayers!!!
[soapbox]Word of advice to those planing on donating money, just be careful who you go through, there are always twisted, and unscrupulous people out there that try to swindle money from those who would do good for their fellow man. Research a bit before you give, so you know where the money is going.[/soapbox]
