About:
Arlington Wrestling once again demonstrated the powerful impact student-athletes can have beyond the mat, raising over $8,000 for Autism Speaks of the Greater Hudson Valley—breaking last year’s total and setting a new program record.
This annual initiative has become a meaningful tradition for the Arlington wrestling community, uniting student-athletes, families, coaches, and supporters around a shared mission of service. Year after year, the team continues to raise the bar, showing that dedication, leadership, and compassion are just as important as wins and losses.
The success of this fundraiser reflects a true team effort. Student-athletes took an active role in leading and promoting the initiative, while families and community members rallied behind them with unwavering support. Together, they transformed their platform in athletics into real-world impact—supporting autism awareness and services across the Greater Hudson Valley.
Arlington Wrestling’s continued commitment to this cause is a powerful example of how high school sports can inspire generosity, strengthen community connections, and make a lasting difference. Their efforts embody the spirit of the New York State Public High School Athletic Association Community Service Challenge, proving that service is a tradition worth building—and breaking records for.
