Programs

How we help.

Three initiatives are active today, and more are on the way — all of it working toward a stronger, sustainable future for wrestlers and the BC wrestling community.

Emergency Assistance Program

Modest, short-term help for an unexpected emergency.

When an unexpected, unavoidable expense lands on someone in BC's wrestling community — urgent medical or dental costs, emergency travel, or food, rent, or utilities after a sudden loss of income — the program provides modest, short-term financial assistance to address the immediate need and keep a small emergency from becoming a serious one.

  • Open to active participants in BC's wrestling community — wrestlers, referees, ring crew, photographers, trainers, and others
  • Modest one-time assistance, normally once in any 12-month period, subject to available funds
  • Confidential review against clear criteria — every application is assessed, and assistance is discretionary

Out-of-Province Trainer Program

Bringing proven coaching to BC's wrestlers.

We welcome experienced trainers from across Canada to work alongside BC’s established coaching community, bringing fresh perspectives, diverse approaches, and new opportunities for local wrestlers to grow.

  • Guest trainers brought in to work with local talent
  • Skills and knowledge that stay in the BC community
  • More high-quality coaching, closer to home

Live Events

Paid performance opportunities, public-stage experience, and community access.

The Fund's Live Events program creates paid bookings and public-stage experience for BC wrestlers, connects local and visiting performers, and introduces new audiences to professional wrestling as an accessible, community-based live performance form — with revenue reinvested into training, safety, and support. Kits League, produced in partnership with BOOM! Pro Wrestling as production partner, is the program's first series — and not its limit.

  • Paid bookings for local, regional, national, and visiting performers
  • Public-stage experience in affordable, family-friendly neighbourhood venues
  • Reinvestment into training, safety, and skills development in BC

On the Roadmap

Where we're headed.

These programs are planned but not yet running. As the Fund grows, they're the next commitments we intend to keep.

The Fund sets the goals, eligibility priorities, and reinvestment decisions behind every program. Read about our governance and program independence.

In planning

Scholarships

Support for education, certifications, and career development beyond the ring — so chasing a dream in wrestling never means closing every other door.

In planning

Health & Safety

Safer training standards, injury awareness, and well-being resources. The Emergency Assistance Program is an early step in this direction — structured health and safety initiatives are next.

In planning

Financial Education

Practical guidance on budgeting, contracts, and planning for life after wrestling — because a career in the ring should never end in uncertainty.

How It Works

Reaching support shouldn't be a wrestling match.

We keep the process simple, confidential, and human. The Emergency Assistance Program has clear eligibility criteria — including recent participation in BC wrestling events and the kinds of expenses that qualify — and every application is reviewed against them. The full criteria, along with the application form, are on the program page.
