Wrestle Like A Girl was founded in mid-2016 by Sally Roberts, a U.S. Army combat veteran and 2x World Bronze Medalist in women’s wrestling on the premise that girls and women across the United States and around the world should be afforded opportunities to participate in the sport and that they can do anything. MISSION - The mission of Wrestle Like a Girl is to empower girls and women through the sport of wrestling to become leaders in life. VISION - Our vision is to increase the opportunities for girls and women, who either wrestle, want to wrestle, or simply want to participate in a movement to own their personal space, own their voice and own their sense of self. VIEW - Our view is that girls can do anything - especially wrestle. When we talk about wrestling, the benefits that participants get out of this sport are profound. Our impact is helping girls and young women learn where their self-confidence is, learn what resilience means, learn about healthy choices both physically and mentally, and learn how to dig deep within themselves so that they can become whoever, whatever they want to be both on and off the mat. We work to Empower, Advocate, Educate, Support and Grow. Wrestle Like a Girl is a non-profit, charitable organization formed under Section 501(c)3 of the U.S. Internal Revenue Code. Donations to Wrestle Like a Girl are tax-deductible as charitable contributions for US federal income tax purposes. There are no donation limits or restrictions.
