Dear Friend,
As you know, we had another awesome Arnold Classic Armwrestling Challenge this year. Thank you Leonard Harkless and Denise Wattles! The memories from ACAC are priceless!
At the mandatory meeting of ACAC, where Randy Couture was present all the time, Denise and Leonard made an announcement , that I accepted as an terrible news for the world of Armwrestling. They said that they have no sponsor for next ACAC and there will be NO ARNOLD CLASSIC ARMWRESTLING CHALLENGE any more! They cannot afford from their own pockets too. They could not stop the tears... . Everyone were shocked... .
I am not going to describe what is ACAC for us or American Armwrestling. Everyone knows that. I just want to say this; Arnold Classic is the ONLY Event in Our sport with such caliber of audience, celebrity presence at our stage ( Arnold, Stallone, Couture, etc), respect and prestige! Everyone wishes at least once in life to attend in ACAC.
The next day Denise announced that the found a sponsor! GASPARI NUTRITION, one of the largest nutrition seller in America, agreed to sponsor our Event! But there is a detail; Gaspari Nutrition will do that in amont of $ 10 000, but ACAC needs at least $ 15 000 budget to be organized. Now ACAC needs to find the missing $ 5 000 untill next March. Denise and Leonard cannot afford that $ 5000 any more. They put such amount for last year's ACAC and could not bring them back.
Now it is time for us to show Our Support to them and ACAC. It is time to act. It is time to SAVE ARNOLD CLASSIC FOR US! Here what I suggest;
There are more then 200 armwrestlers on and off this board. If everyone, who calls himself an armwrestler, donates just $25, we will save ACAC for us. $ 5 000 summary is not a big deal for the nation. It can be easy to rise that amount. So , let's do that. Please, mail your checks or money orders to Denise Wattles , 25 Crestline Drive, Billings , Montana 59105. Please, make it payable to United States Armwrestling. USAA can provide all information if you want to put this donation in you taxes later.
Dear Friends, please pay great attention to this action. This is very important to Our Sports, no matter you attend or attended. Think that you might be a next ACAC participant. Personally, I expect a huge response on this thread. I ask the website owners to put this thread as a constant information on the top of the thread page. Also, Denise or Leonard can post amounts and names of donations and the calculation, so it will be open for everyone. Let's do this.
I will be the first or one of the first to send My check. In addition, I will donate a part of the prize money that I might win during the year.
Thank you for attention.
