Jun. 17—Danielle Hoffman, owner of That Sports Bar, and Sarah Burns, owner of The Station, will be bringing professional wrestling to Lebanon, and it's for a good cause.

All of the money made from the event will go to a local family in need. Burns is working with the Freedom Church Outreach Pastor Amber Rust to help identify that family.

After seeing somebody walking around Walmart in a Macho Man Randy Savage shirt, Hoffman had the idea to bring an event like the World Wrestling Entertainment (WWE) to town.

"I saw that, and I was like, I need to bring wrestling to this town," Hoffman said. "Of course, I wanted it to be family friendly and do something to help someone."

From 4-8 p.m. July 30, wrestlers from Wild Championship Wrestling Outlaws (WCWO) the longest running Indiana independent wrestling promotion. The wrestling will be real. WCWO will be setting up a ring at Lebanon Memorial Park and bleachers will also be set up for the show. The event will also include food, face painting, and more.

Burns and Hoffman said they are working with the Freedom Church in Lebanon to make sure whoever receives the money will actually need it. They are also going to work with them to spend it wisely and not just cut a check.

"We wanted to host a really cool event and also be able to help someone out," Hoffman said.
