Par-Troy Wrestling Club New Mat Dedication

PARSIPPANY — The Par Troy Wrestling Club has been fundraising over the last year to purchase a much needed wrestling mat. 

The mat in use was old and became a hazard.  The NJ Blue Collar Association Local 1 heard of their plight through then President Sam Poff, who is one of the wrestling coaches with his son Sammy, in the wrestling program. 

He relayed this to Paul Breslauer and his fellow union members and very soon after our Program was presented with a $5,000 donation to get the group started toward their $13,000 goal, the cost of a new mat.

We are very excited about it,  because it  embodies the symbols of the two wrestling programs which combined in 2010, making it “One town, One team,” said President Angela Wasilewski. Thanks to PAL Director Tony Bonavitacola, they hold their matches and annual Holiday tournament at the Parsippany PAL. 

Other major contributors to our fundraising goal are Par-Troy Wrestling Club’s former Coach Peter Justo, who attended and wrestled for Parsippany High School, Gabelli Funds, and the Sons of Italy.  

They are still graciously accepting contributions toward our goal, so if anyone is so inclined please contact Angela Wasilewski, PTWC President Angela.Wasilewski@verizon.net or June Madia jmadia@aol.com.
