Start!

I just wanted to let you all know that Wrestling the World decided last night to mobilize for the people of Haiti. In the past we have had lots of support for: Taking down the tsunami, Headlock the hurricane, and Cradling Kenya. As you know we are still working in Kenya, but feel strongly that we can help Haiti.


Pancake the 'Quake: Will be a multifaceted approach to raise support for the people of Haiti. We are working with a few local organizations to find the best place to help that works with our mission-but wanted to start getting the awareness out now.

At this point we have three things that we will be doing:

February 23rd, is International Pancake Day. We will be having local pancake dinners in communities around the country to raise funds for Pancake the 'Quake.

T-shirts, we have a few people working on a design for a T-shirt, if you or someone you know likes to design shirts we are open to designs but need this no later than Monday morning.

YouTube, We are going to raise awareness on YouTube with Pancake Videos. Some of you know that there is a Pancake Block in football, there is a Pancake move in Wrestling, and we all know about the Pancakes in the kitchen...so, we will be announcing a YouTube contest to: "Show us your pancake" there will be pancake themed prizes...

If you or anyone else wants to help with these or another project we would love to work together on this. If you have an idea to get your students involved that would be great too. If you are interested in helping please let me know via a reply to this email. The biggest thing that we can do TODAY, is spread the word...talk about it, forward this email, post it on your Facebook...We have an ambitious goal to have 100 communities having pancake dinners on February 23rd...that means we really have to spread this quickly.

Thanks for your time and support...

Phill
