The Wrestling team raised approximately $2,600 from this years Pin Pot and made donations to the Hurricane Mat Club and the Live your Cor Foundation. In the picture below, Assistant Coaches (from left to right) Pete Detore and Ethan Mitchell are shown presenting checks to Ralph and Holly Hubbard who run the Live Your Cor Foundation. The Pin Pot was started during the 2014-15 season as a fundraiser to benefit two causes. The Hurricane Mat club which supports the wrestling team, and Live Your Cor that "pays it forward" by providing financial assistance to families that have suffered adversity or personal hardship. The Live Your Cor Foundation was founded in memory of former Hurricane wrestler Cory Hubbard who was killed by a drunk driver in 2014 while crossing the street in College Park, MD. Cory was an dedicated athlete, teammate and a two-time wrestling team Captain. Coach Mitchell and Coach Detore were both teammates of Cory. The Pin Pot is the sole wrestling fundraiser, accepting pledge amounts per pin that the Hurricanes achieve during the season in all Varsity matches. Donors make pledges via the Pin Pot tab on the website. It's a great way to support support two great causes! The Hurricanes plan to continue the Pin Pot during the upcoming season.
